Would you rather be born..

[Tedminator]

Soo Rev and I got into a discussion about the ultimate lucky lotto jackpot win is to be born in a top 10 country, rich, male, white, and smart (imo). But if I can pick only one of those traits in the poll... I pick born into a rich family.

What about all yalls? and might as well post your ultimate picks also while you're here.


edit heres the soundtrack for this thread while you mull over the options

Where was I born?!?

White is the things.

 

[orangecat]

Lucky. Good luck beats all things.

 

[Madeline]

Poor, black, female and smart.

Lucky. Good luck beats all things.

We agree on something.

I would prefer to be "rich" as in the freedom of choices it brings not for the love of money. That is, no concerns about paying the bills, and the freedom to expand my businesses without a bank breathing down my neck expecting an immediate return.

Being rich has the same defect as being happy. As a lifelong condition, both stunt creativity, imagination, capacity for joy, etc.

It would be like a life "lived" in a medically-induced coma, in my view.

Why fucking bother?

I'd rather be born...than aborted.

How do you know?

I think I would have rather been a housecat or an oak tree than a human being. Our species sucks.
