    This is what I point out whenever someone tries to tell me, “The only fair thing in life is everyone gets 24 hours in a day.”

    That doesn’t mean shit when someone with a private jet can be on a different continent in hours.

    • “We all have the same 24 hours in a day”

      I fucking hate that saying so much. I’ve started telling people just because you and everyone else at the marathon might have the same 23 miles to go, when 9/10 of you are shackled to a heavy steel ball, and at least half are dragging 2 or 3, then that distance means fuck all.
