[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posting about your beautiful home, healthy kids, gorgeous vacations, and the like doesn’t make you blessed. [b]God didn’t bless you with these things because you’re such a wonderful person.[/b] You’re privileged. Period.[/quote]

How do you know?

Counterpoint... I have a crap ton of money and a great job.  I live in an amazing penthouse that I purchased.  I could literally vacation nonstop for the entire summer and not even put a dent into my wealth.

However, I was also born chunky, fugly, introverted, and socially awkward and have remained that way for my whole life.  I'd be doing all of that vacationing alone.  IMO - I'm not blessed.  I got privilege out the wazoo and no blessing going on over here.

I wasn't raised religious at all - I was raised by two atheists - and I've always wondered if I wasn't blessed because I grew up not believing in any God.

So, when I see someone like you described, I think to myself, 'wow, that person is blessed!'      [/quote]
