Writer's Block: Happy go lucky

I've seen some very profound and wise answers on my friends list. I doubt I could do better than they have. But I'll wax spiritual for a moment and state that I believe in Original Sin in the sense that the entire world is under a curse. We're all born under a curse, every one of us. The fact that some of us are born to lives of ease and others to lives of horror is a part of it. It takes all fairness out of everything. I think we're all born with responsibility to each other, that if we're fortunate enough to have more we should use it to help people who have less. We don't do that. I certainly don't.
I know some people who've achieved phenomenal things with what they've been given and who use it to help others whenever they can. They're the kind of people I want to be more like. I'm not as fortunate as many, more fortunate than most. And I hope I can put to use the lessons of the people I just described.
