You are privileged to even be alive, and to live on Earth, and to live in the glorious USA where nearly everyone has everything they need to live and be happy.
Things could be more worse. Why ask for more than what you have? Be happy you're organized into a body with cells all working together to get stuff done, be happy that you can feed these cells everyday with Earth's abundant resources, be happy that the Earth is also organized into a solid form that is hospitable to life! Be happy for the one star that shines on you all day and keeps you warm! And be happy that you live in a place where other things aren't chasing you around and trying to kill you for their own benefit. Society treats you well, even if you don't believe so. The services that fellow people supply you with make it so easy to live, you take it for granted.
So why ask for more than what we already have? Why ask not to be crippled? Why ask to be a better person? Why pray for an afterlife? Why wish for fortune?
