449. Control; Fortune
"Very few ... live by choice. Every man is placed in his present condition by causes which acted without his foresight, and with which he did not always willingly co-operate; and therefore you will rarely meet one who does not think the lot of his neighbor better than his own."
Johnson: Rasselas [Imlac]
