I'll start by saying this isn't really directed at you.

> Have you ever thanked your ancestors for eradicating Neanderthal, your mother for not sticking to her first dating prospects, or all those who died in wars so you can live in peace and comfort?

More people should make it a practice to be grateful for the things that allow us to be successful, they'd be more content.

I've never thanked Neanderthals but I do think about the choices and risks my ancestors took to ensure _they_ were successful.

Personally I try to semi-regularly reflect on how I got to where I am and the factors that went into that.

That includes thanking my mom and dad for their fuck ups as well as their good choices. It's been a humbling experience and long term day to day I'm happier and less isolated from the world.
