Feeling Lucky

September 7, 2006 - 10:10 AM by

All over the country, Israelis have been soberly watching the newly-released video of the kidnapped soldiers on the evening news, it was particularly heartbreaking to view the footage of Ron Arad, who has been gone so long.

For Dave of Israellycool, viewing the film was well-timed and had a silver lining: it offered him some badly-needed perspective on a rough day:

I was just remarking to my wife tonight how much bad luck we seem to be having. Yes, I admit to feeling a bit sorry for myself, after it became apparent this week that we will almost certainly lose thousands of dollars in a transaction gone wrong. If this wasn’t enough, I got a flat on the way home tonight, and had to wait almost an hour for assistance since I couldn’t see a darn thing (more lights on the roads, please!)

But when I got home, I happened to catch the footage of Ron Arad on Channel 10. Now, I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world.

Perspective’s a b*tch.
