a scene from Futurama, Leela and Fry are outside in a crowed
Leela asks: “Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich!”
Fry replies: “True, but someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step.”
Everyone successful thinks it’s all because of their hard work and everyone failing thinks the game is rigged against them.
Somehow no one that makes it says “I was lucky in a lot of ways” and no one losing their home says “I could have worked harder”.
