With good fortune 

comes responsibility.

Good fortune provides us not only with a rare existence as a human but also includes everything from adequate living necessities to the good things that make our life comfortable and enjoyable. Family members who are loving and supportive. Friends who genuinely have our best interests at heart. Coworkers who we can depend on.

Having attained these, we can find ourselves at a juncture. 

Do we personally enjoy all we have and look no further? Or do we begin to look beyond our own existence? Do we recognize that while we are not supposed to attach to the phenomena around us, we should not ignore or dismiss them either? As an integral member of humanity, can we, upon seeing others in need, not want to help? Is it not our responsibility to aspire to leave a place better after we have been there?

Good fortune can be very gratifying. But far more rewarding is good fortune coupled with the willingness to share it.
