As it does for wealth, which more often than not is also a matter of good luck rather than hard work...no of course they dont choose it, but many take no action at all to ensure it, and thats not the point i made. the point is 'fair[' regardless of circumstance.
no one chooses it, life happens, and we have super as a safety net for some, gin money for others.
nobody knows good luck more than i.
i have fallen backwards and landed in money. ive worked extremely hard in short bursts, and my timing is nothing short of spectacular, completely by accident. but ive made that luck too, no one set me on the path i took.
but ive seen and experienced hardship. i come from humble beginnings and during my travels i witnessed, and experienced what it is to do without. ive been flat broke.
i might get my super and go bankrupt the next day because im uninsured for health and a decent cancer wold drain us. i probably spent the money i should have put into health insurance on weed or something. theres a hundred things could happen that would financially cripple us, but i'll always have super if it all goes south, unless some sod begrudges me it and takes it away.
So if you disappear out of view You know I will never say goodbye
