Impotence

Every day that you continue functioning on the north side of the soil rather than its dark, seamy underbelly is all the more reason you should feel supremely lucky and grateful to be alive here on our bewitching little blue planet innocuously named Earth.  No other considerations.  No other caveats.  Nothing else matters.  Now…..what you choose to make of those additional days is entirely up to you, but your ongoing presence here lies in the hands of Someone far greater and knowing than any of us puny earthlings.  Be grateful for sentience and sentience alone.  Do not commit the cardinal mistake of asking for or gratuitously expecting anything more than that.  If saccharine largesse serendipitously comes your way—Great and more power to you!—but if it finds its way to other, sometimes undeserving individuals, do not begrudge them for their ethereal fortune and for damned sure don’t curse the Supreme Being for being “unfair”.  The firmament and Whoever oversees it doesn’t operate in an immanently logical manner, and neither do human lives and the crazily random destinies said lives follow.
