The way that I look at it is that it's relative to the environment in which the product was made in.

So yes a sandwich costs $8 in a rich country but that's because it was made in a setting with clean roads / public safety / good transportation etc, whereas the 1 dollar sandwich in a poor country is made in a setting that has none of those

So if you want a $1 sandwich, you have to live in a poor country

i fucking hate this word i swear to god. there's nothing 'lucky' about the fact that white people fought with blood and sweat and tears for fucking thousands of years to build a civilization worth living in where people can prosper.
another common line is that we're 'lucky' we're not living under totalitarian nazi rule right now. it's not 'luck' that my grandparents siblings died fighting in world war 2 to protect our democratic and free civilization. faggot.

The thing is, if you live in a first world country, you are able to invest way more into crypto or stocks in comparison to a slumjeet. Slumjeet earns $20 a month and saves $5, while Cletus earns $2k a month working minimum wage and saves $200 if he really wants to (aka, not spending it on booze/drugs/ciggies). That makes all the difference.

I never said this, but the odds of you being born in a first world country is 1 out of 5. Hence you are lucky compared to the majority of the world in this regard.

I know in India they have a similar attitude as you towards their dalits / untouchables. That since the dalits are being punished for bad previous life, you should look down on them and shouldn't feel bad for mistreating them. This is morally reprehensible IMHO

>> No.24604008

>>24603792
for fucks sake. there are no odds of 'YOU' being born in a country. like i said in my post before the trannitor deleted it for no reason, this psudo-buddhist garbage does not make sense

you are not a soul flying around in the ether waiting for a chance to be born who then pulls a slot machine and either lucks out being born in good circuimstances in a good country or end up in a shithole country.
you're not a separate consciousness from your body. you are your body, which is the product of your parents genetics.

>I know in India they have a similar attitude as you towards their dalits / untouchables.
yeah because they're stupid which is why their country sucks complete ass.
>bad previous life
case in point. that's why india is a hell on earth. they tend to think in such ways.

i'm not looking down on anyone, except people who use 'luck' to play victim, when it isn't luck at all. like i said before, its not luck my / your ancestors died fighting for something they believed in.

I can agree that using lucky in this regard can be a politically charged word but the intent is that we should express gratitude for our circumstances. I have no opinion on how this should affect immigration. Also pretty sure Buddhism doesn't make a mind-body distinction.

This in no way justifies acting negatively towards people based on their class and ethnicity. If you disagree with that, you are using the same train of thinking as the Indians do regarding the untouchables.
