This came to mind for me because of how we Americans define bad times. This is not to say that we don't have bad things happen here in America,we do. Here is what I mean by spoiled. Oh weep weep,I wont be able to buy that new Mercedes I want because I am almost down to my last Billion. Who is me,my favorite store is out of my special food that I just can't live without. I try and remember always there are people on this planet that count themselves lucky to have something to eat 1-2 times a week. If I am hungry,I need but take a stroll down to the corner 7-11 and buy a snack. I have had the experience of talking to someone in pain that I said remember even in your pain you are so much better off than that kid in that poor country that has REAL pain(and may die) and you can get something to ease your pain just by calling your local doctor,or even getting an over the counter pain reliever. The kid in question has none of those options unless he is lucky enough to have a Missionary Doctor close enough to get to him in perhaps 2 weeks.
We are VERY blessed to have been born here in America,and remember that is by pure chance of our ancestors taking the chance to pack up and move 3-4 thousand miles to get here back in the covered wagon days.
So,Americans quit feeling entitled,and begin to understand just how very lucky you are to have been born here,and in a time that may prove to be the era of miracles.
I am proud to be an American,but will never forget that there are those that I am able to help and aid,there are those that need me to be a caring and concerned human being,because being human is much more important than being just an American.
