Even in that conditional response there's a healthy dose of opinion. I've long since concluded that life is tilted pretty unfairly my way - there's all sorts of misfortune and bullshit that hasn't happened to me and I wonder how well I'd handle if I was suddenly thrust onto a level playing field with a Calcutta street kid, for example.

There will always be someone better off than you, there will always be someone worse off. For me, the goal is to always be better off than that guy I was last year.

That's a good way of putting it.
