"It's a matter of life and death" is one I hear constantly among my fellow senior high school students, and it just doesn't sit right with me. I can't imagine how it would be for Afghan refugees and cancer patients to hear people casually throwing about these two enormous possibilities that they have to contend with each day, in describing the culmination of someone's privileged Western education. Sometimes I think they really need to wake up and see where they stand on a broad, global scale. It's not a matter of life and death, it's a matter of being super-super-lucky, or super-super-super lucky. This is an outlook that saves me a lot of petty stress.
