“The large element of luck in all our lives means that neither society nor government has either causal control or moral responsibility extending to everything that has gone right or wrong in everybody’s life.” -Thomas Sowell
[That hasn't ever stopped anyone from claiming the contrary position though. We all wish to think that the good fortune that has come to us is deserved or earned while the misfortunes of our life are not our fault. We are loathe to open our eyes to see reality.]
