This is about chance. Throw in a coin, hit start, and the Earth begins to spin. Where your soul lands is pure randomness — and that’s where your life begins. Your skin color is drawn at random, from deep black to pale white. Your gender is assigned, like a game of roulette. You’re born into a religion. Your sexuality and how well your appearance aligns with the local beauty standards — all of it, chance. Next comes income. If you earn more than €950 a year, you’re lucky — you’re already in the wealthier half of the world. If you earn more than €27,000, you’ve hit the jackpot: that places you among the richest 1% globally. You might also receive a little education boost. At the end, a human being stands there. Some have been lucky — born into many privileges, with doors wide open. Others, less lucky — with many doors closed before they even had a chance to knock.
