Here's an interesting link: Global Rich List
You enter your yearly salary and it tells you how many people on the planet make less than you. The link I clicked it from warned "be prepared to feel guilty." I've often argued with friends that though we all of course think we're undercompensated at our jobs, we are incredibly lucky. Still, I wasn't quite prepared for the percentile I got dropped in at that site. It's very scary.
I'm incoherant right now, so I'm not able to say anything more than that. But check it out.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the many, many ways in which I'm astoundingly lucky.
