If you had indoor plumbing, and shoes, you got bubkis to bitch about.
Did you? Did you even know anyone without them?
My good fortune was to get brought up in a time when there was no notion of anyone being entitled to warm feet and a warm turd-drop in winter; it was just the natural order of things. As a consequence, envy never took hold.
Yeah, I know, we were just too "socially undeveloped" to understand how fucking oppressed we were. Funny how we never felt oppressed. All my memories of that time are happy and funny.
I think the misfortune you claim is less about what you didn't have and more about worrying about other people's lives....and I see that hasn't changed. Regulate everything, forever...is that about right?
