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]
