jesus christ, we are so fucking lucky.
i'm lucky for having a job to have gone to today. for having a car to drive home. for having a home to drive to at all. for being able to feed my tortoises better than some people eat. for not having three more precious little mouths to feed because i've had the choice to not have babies. for having the $4.71 to buy some friskies for the street cats. for having my choice of what to make for dinner. for having dinner. for that being my third meal of the day. for getting to go take a shower now, with $8 soap, then retire to my four-pillow bed with a fan in the window. and for getting to do it all again tomorrow.
ever think about how much you have to feel lucky for? and all because you got lucky to have been stationed here for your time on earth, rather than there. ¶ 9:56 PM

Never forget how lucky we are. With this privilege of leisure should come the responsibility to do all we can to make the world a better place for everyone else--what Al Gore called "moral imagination."
I always have known these things and spent years trying to explain it to my children. They are just now slowly beginning to understand now that they are on their own. Just walking in the grocery stores in the US reminds me how lucky we are in a "gluttony, will we ever really be happy way"
