Thereâs plenty of suffering to go around for everyone. The poor, the rich, the famous, the ignored, the healthy, the sick â everyone suffers. Even the people you envy suffer. Things are better for some than others, but nobody lives on cloud nine every moment.
You canât force everything to go your way. And if things are generally going your way, which they likely are most of the time, you should be happy. We tend not to realize that things are going our way for the most part. That is the rule rather than the exception for most of us, especially if youâre not living in a poor region of the world.
Life isnât easy. Itâs tough. But itâs not as tough as it used to be, whether we were talking a thousand years ago or even one hundred years ago â life was far more difficult for those people. We, modern men and women, can endure more than we realize. Most of us arenât forced to our extremes like many of our ancestors were.
Youâre here because of your ancestors. Youâre here because of your country. Youâre here because of your parents. Youâre here because of doctors, farmers, scientists, police, and others who have helped contribute to your health, safety, and opportunity to make a living. There are a lot of people who deserve your respect and partial credit for your successes, including yourself in the first place.
