The Triumph of Mindless Stubbornness
Oh, fantastic. Another heartwarming tale to make me question every life choice I’ve ever made. Apparently, a gentleman from Ohio – because, naturally, its Ohio – has achieved untold riches after playing the exact same lottery numbers for twenty-two years. Twenty-two! Thats longer than most relationships last! And what did he do? He stubbornly clung to a sequence of digits, presumably chosen at random when he was feeling particularly whimsical or, more likely, just because it looked lucky.
And now he’s $3.5 million richer. Because the universe obviously rewards unwavering commitment to… nothing. Its not about strategy, foresight, or brilliance, people! It’s about sheer, unadulterated persistence in the face of overwhelming odds and zero logic. I spend years honing my skills, striving for genuine accomplishment, and what do I get? The crushing realization that someone just won big because they were stubborn enough to keep picking numbers like a broken record.
Seriously, does this encourage anything other than apathy towards actual hard work? It practically screams dont bother trying; just wait around and hope something random happens! I’m sure he’ll tell us it’s about believing in yourself, but let’s be honest: it’s about being ridiculously fortunate. And I’m over it.
