It's a bit simplistic, but this quote from Babylon 5 has resonated with me so much:

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?" So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

MARCUS COLE, "A Late Delivery from Avalon" (1996)

To be honest, it sometimes does get to me that if I had made different choices or been in different situations, I might be richer/healthier/happier. Of course, I might also be poorer/sicker/unhappier, too.

Most importantly, I also know that I wouldn't be /me/ anymore.
