I think it was ben Azzai who was thinking Hashem for so many people working hard to make his breakfasts – farmers, traders, marketers …

In our times, thank Hashem for chinese workers putting your phone together, American engineers planning obsolescence so that your fridge will be cheaper to make (and thus cheaper for you to buy in a competitive economy), for those who put money into retirement funds and thus indirectly invest in the most successful companies, making those companies to quickly get capital to create new fancy products for you. Literally, billions of people support your existence. Be grateful, do not complain and apply yourself to Torah and mitzvos. The same way, the cow gets fulfilled by your kosher eating it, the phone assembler gets fulfilled by you learning tosfos on that phone.
