Day 2,677 —Do I Deserve Anything? — withy a PICTURE of a FLOWER that looks LIKE a FACE

     Talking to my wife about transitioning to her new job. And thinking about how I just started my new job. I almost thought that we worked hard and that we deserved this, but I stopped short. The idea that anyone deserves anything is secretly arrogant. So many good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. I know these things to be true from logically looking at the world; however, good things happen to good people too, and bad things sometimes happen to bad people. 

     I am happy for both of us to receive some recognition for our work. Yet, at the same time it would be just as likely for us to never receive recognition. Many better people than me I am sure have worked harder and received less.
