I think this is funny.  But I don’t agree with it.  I actually get quite bothered when people say something similar to me about their life. I usually want to schmack them upside the head and scream ‘Why are you being so negative, shut up and enjoy your good fortune!’

But there is something reassuring about this quote when you see everything going well for someone who is dishonest, mean, hurtful, prideful, ugly hearted and malicious. It’s called Karma in some cultures, and ‘what goes around comes around’ in others.

Whatever you call it, it’s a good thing to teach your children that while luck ebbs and flows, sometimes to people you don’t think deserve it, and sometimes to people you do, luck will change, life will even out in the end.  Our attitude while we go through these ups and downs is the deciding factor in our success and happiness.
