The Universe Rewards Mediocrity, Naturally
Seriously? A hundred thousand dollars because someone felt obligated to buy a relative a trinket? Let’s just pause for a moment and reflect on the sheer absurdity of this situation. We toil away, diligently paying taxes, contributing (or attempting to) to society, and what do we get? The crushing weight of bills and the existential dread that comes with adulthood. But no, apparently, if youre lucky enough to be the recipient of a completely unremarkable, likely mass-produced, thank-you gift – congratulations! You’ve achieved lottery winner status.
Its just perfect, isnt it? The pinnacle of achievement is now receiving a pre-packaged token of appreciation and then cashing in for a sum that could significantly ease the burden for someone truly struggling. I mean, what about the single mother working two jobs? Or the veteran battling PTSD? Did they get a scratch-off ticket fueled by familial obligation? No! Its always the person who accidentally stumbles into fortune through sheer, unadulterated luck masquerading as gratitude.
I fully expect this to become the new trend. Forget hard work and dedication; just wait for your aunt Mildred to feel guilty about not sending enough cards and then pray she buys you a lottery ticket. That’s the American dream now, folks. Absolutely splendid.
