You would not want to trade places with the richest man in America just 150 yrs ago. No mobile, no cars, no airplanes, no FDA, no OSHA, no antibiotics/penicilan, no immunizations, no anesthesia, no sewage treatment, no internet, virtually everyone farmed or worked in a factory 12hrs day/7 days week, 1/2 of all kids died before age 7, omnipresent mortality and medical helplessness from every trivial accident. Life is astoundingly better today. I think about this everytime I feel ungrateful, envious of others, or like life is screwing me over.
