I have observed something else under the sun.
The fastest runner doesn't always win the race,
and the strongest warrior doesn't always win
the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and
the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And
those who are educated don't always lead
successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by
being in the right place at the right time.
