yes winners and losers are very different. Don’t pull a red/black roulette bet on me. Try to distinguish between winners/losers and the outcome of a random event.

Randomness happens in life. Most of the population is borne into a life with less opportunity then others.

Yes there are those who enjoyed the benefits of being borne into a life of leisure. Those people are not winners, they are lucky. Randomness smiled upon them.

However to me a winner does not have to be a rich person. Winners are people who shape their own lives and for better or for worse enjoy them and take responsibility for themselves. There is nobody to blame, no external conditions that put them there. If they had adversity in their lives they adapted and overcame. People shape their own lives or they have them shaped for them to a varying degree by their own external conditions, spouses etc. You make your life, you make your breaks or your screw ups, you pick yourself up and move on. Or you let the wind blow you around.

you sound like my wife.

Let me put it to you this way.

Life would have been intolerable had i not had the 3rd kid.

I suppose that’s a free choice. Kinda like the guy in the prison camp hypothetical. Let’s say, everyday he gets to choose whether he is going to be whipped witha cat o nine tails, or punched with brass knuckles. or there is a third option — if he signs a confession each day, he is given the day in peace, free of the beatings. So i suppose each day he ‘freely” signs the confession.

i take responsibility for myself.

I have (roughly) shaped my life.

I’d say I have a fiar measure of grit and determination and have conquered some small measure of adversity.

I still would say randomness and luck have smiled upon me.
