Trading is a luxury

I just finished watching In the Heart of the Sea. Its a movie about the story of the writing of Moby Dick and goes through the story of a crew trying to get riches by whaling for 2 years. The trip didn't go well and damn near everyone died. Meanwhile, we get to sit here, looking at our computer or our phones, wherever we are and if were determined, skilled and lucky we can make more money than we ever want. How lucky we are to live in this time and have these opportunities.
