I learned about this Jewish prayer in my world religions' class in university, what are your thoughts about it?

So the men will pray this prayer that they are grateful they are born as a free person and not as a slave...

And I do not remember the rest of the prayer, but I think there is also a mention that you are grateful you are born as a human being and not some other creature.

I think about this a lot, that I am lucky I have the freedom to leave the house to buy a cup of coffee because people in other countries cannot do that without being jailed, robbed, or killed.

I feel like a billionaire that I was able to study at such a beautiful, fulfilling, knowledge building, and skill training school because some people do not get any chance at even a grade one education.

In University, I was shocked I had the option of eating butter chicken for lunch while other people in this world are starving to death. And I was amazed we had computers at school cause people in third world countries have to use chalk boards.

Here's a thought, in the west we have better medical care for animals than much of the world has for humans.

I'm certainly grateful that I wasn't born in Africa, and I think most Africans would probably agree.

It’s an older prayer from a time long ago. Not much to it
