## The Universe Rewards Idiocy, Apparently
Seriously? A Kentucky hunter wins $1.1 million because he ignored his son’s call while fiddling with online lottery games? This is precisely why I have lost faith in any semblance of logic or fairness. We spend years agonizing over responsible parenting, emphasizing the importance of connection and communication, and what does the universe reward? A man’s blatant disregard for potentially vital information resulting in a windfall larger than most people see in their lifetime.
It’s just…perfect, isn’t it? The narrative practically writes itself: “Man busy hunting/gambling, misses son’s call, becomes instantly wealthy.” It’s the ultimate cautionary tale dressed up as a heartwarming story. Because who needs attentive parents when you can passively collect a million dollars by avoiding your familial duties?
I bet his son called with some earth-shattering news – maybe a lost dog, perhaps an urgent need for assistance. And what did Dad do? Ignored it to scratch off digital tickets! And now he’s probably being lauded as some kind of accidental hero, while young Timothy is left wondering why his father values flashing lights and random number generators more than him.
This isn’t a victory; it’s an indictment. An indictment of our societal obsession with instant gratification and the utterly baffling ways fortune decides to distribute itself. I need a stiff drink.
