And I don't say that to complain about my life. Aside from my awful gambling luck ($110 lost so far in my life), I've been blessed in every single way, with near-perfect good fortune.

Some people I know have it pretty bad.....I can't imagine what kind of hardships the billions of people I don't know go through. I mean, it's one thing to say, "Wow, it must be so hard to be live day after day on the edge of bankruptcy." To understand exactly what that means is another.

A girl I know at Cornell here.....she had the worst week ever last month. In one week, her father passed away and she herself was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

It really puts the "Give us this day our daily bread" prayer into a new perspective; living itself is just a struggle for a lot of people.....

try reading the book of Job in the Bible.

too true
my dad died a few years ago....and recently some kid who i haven't talked to in years was making fun of me. i said "yer mom!" (he called me gay. no big whoop, but kinda noyying) then he says "At least i have a dad." i think he realized he went too far, cause he shut up. but still.....

so yeah. some people have no idea. poor girl.....she has it worse off than me
