The world as we should see it

I am a firm believer that there is a purpose to life. This purpose is not universal, instead it is personal. Personally, I believe we are unimaginably lucky. First of all, we are in existence. Events unfolded to bring us into existence beginning in time immemorial. We were each born into a family that is well off. We were born healthy in body and mind. We were given the opportunity to flourish and grow into well educated people. In the grand scale of things, we won the lottery. I am not sure exactly where I am going with this. All I know is that we are the lucky few in this world that get this opportunity. Why would we squander it? Read this article. It is fairly short. People should be more like that.
