Good life

Aside from who your parents were, the most important factor surrounding your birth is where you were born. If you were fortunate enough to be born in the good ole USA, you are one of a select few on this planet that has everything going for you. Even if you were born in the middle of the depression like I was, you still had a life far better than most around the world. As a child war never came to your house and you could always speak your mind and move about the country as you wish. Even today the poorest among us is better off than most people because we have the constitution. We have a representative republic which means the least of us is protected by law from the majority. The country has a way to go but as of today things are looking good. It is good to recognize our shortcomings and better if you plan to do something about them but there should always be time to count you blessings.
