Trust me, I'm know how lucky I am and I'm very grateful for all I've been given in life. Things could be SO MUCH worse, and what I'm going through is nothing compared to what people go through every day...it's not even a blip on the radar.
I try never to take things for granted. When I hear things like what you've told me, it always puts things into perspective and forces me to think about my own life...to focus more on my "have's" than my "have nots".
The U.S may be a "dreamland" to a lot of people, but it's still not an "easy" place to try and survive. I don't believe ANY place is an easy place to survive...but there are certainly places where you can have a better quality of life, yes. Most people don't make enough to live comfortably (or what WE'VE been conditioned to believe is comfortable) and struggle to pay the bills each month. Even here, very few people have it easy.
We don't have to worry about alot of things that people in other countries have to worry about. But that doesn't mean we have no worries. But again, trust me...I know how fortunate I am.
