RE: ⒶⒷⓇⒶⒽⒶⓂ - we are all wanting different experiences
There are a lot of different ways of being. At the same time in some places life is nasty, brutish and short.

What i have observed (working in the 'townships' in South Africa) is that even when life is brutish and short there is so much joy and happiness too. More than I saw in London. Children in the slums were content with a piece of wood and a pile of dirt, because that was all they knew. Perspective is everything.
I was watching something or other and there were immigration officials pulling illegal aliens who had come all the way from Africa from a river in Colombia and they interviewed one of them about how they could undertake such an impossible journey and he started talking about how he had faith in God, it was pretty incredible. So many people take their blessings for granted.
