What an insightful post. Since you won the birth lottery, maybe you should give all your material possessions and wealth to the unfortunates in the fourth world countries. It seems only fair.

I doubt we will ever see the day when human greed and self-interest is overridden by ethical conduct on a mass scale. It's in our nature.
