I knew a guy whose grandparents rolled three 12s in a row, now he keeps knocking the die off the table, but is allowed to do it again and again because of the good choices of his grandparents.
Meanwhile these people are rolling d20's while the average person is lucky to have a d4 and a d6
There's a great analogy that I was introduced to a while back,
Life is like a carnival dart throw game.
Middle class kids get one throw. Most hit the board somewhere in the "doing okay" region, some miss the board completely, but a small number actually hit the bullseye. They're the rags-to-riches success stories.
Rich kids get as many throws as they want.
Poor kids? They don't get a throw, they're the ones working the booth.
