This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon discovers that life often isn't all that fair...

Being smart and hardworking can bolster your odds, but your lot in life really boils down to how lucky you are, and how well equipped you are to capitalise on that luck.

Unfortunately the right combination of extreme luckiness and ability to capitalise on it doesn't come up all that often, so most people simply won't ever get that lucky break.

of course extreme luck can be replaced by inherited wealth and daddies' connections and suddenly we are looking at a super star who would under average room temperature conditions would only make it to local news

Being born into riches is extreme luck.

Or did most of us choose to live on hard difficulty?

(well most of us are probably on medium difficulty, do to the fact that we can post here)
