My ancestors fought in World War 2 and Vietnam, I was the first of the spoiled generation, they wouldn't want it any other way for me after their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their fallen brothers.
Should I feel guilty? Or embrace my great fortune, knowing somehow it was meant to be.
And not even great fortune when you compare it to that expensive equipment, I mean I have at least 1 meal a day and a place to sleep. I worked my ass off for 20 years so far since 16 years old and there's no way I'll stop for another 20 or 30 years. Should I feel fortunate? Get jealous at those that have more? Get jealous at those that have less?
And in the grand scheme of things I am completely miserable myself, while someone in another place on the planet would be fascinated that I have something called running water and a toilet.
