220728 What I learned in my studies this morning 2*

Magic carpet ride
Zoomin' around the scene, live, 
Is that a haiku? 

Daily Stoic:

I've lived a good life save for one event. I had a stable and loving family growing up. My father made enough money for us to have most of what we wanted as kids.  I've been quite lucky in all the things that made my life easy. Plus, I was smart and enjoyed learning. 

I understand that I started, say, passed second on my way to third in life. 

I try to take this into account when I examine my day's actions, deliberately including an understanding that many (most?) people had it much harder than I did.  

That doesn't mean I devalue my accomplishments — they are what they are — but I get that many who started without my advantages have done as much or more with their lives.
