Does anyone ever have it easy? I mean, I know there are people out there that have it easier, but does that necessarily mean that they have it easy? People who live in gated communities, in huge mansions with 16 bathrooms, they get depressed, they stress out, they have to deal with unpredictable set backs, right?
Sure it looks like they get all the breaks and have their every whim catered too, but that's just what we see, that's just what's on the surface. Underneath, even the most privileged of the privilege go through periods of ennui just like me and you.
They gotta, they just gotta. Everybody has to deal with disappointment on some level, Life takes left turns when you want to go right, no matter who you are - that's the way life is - random, nonsensical, and completely non-partisan.
Rich or poor, smart or stupid, selfish or altruistic, short or tall, responsible or reckless, none of that can have any bearing on whether or not a person is going to have to deal with an unexpected serious illness or a random accident or a sudden misfortune. Life throws hardballs at everyone.
Sure, some people have better resources to deal with the vagaries of life, but even billionaires go through divorces and get in car accidents or develop mental illnesses. Even billionaires get scared, sink into paranoid delusions, or go through psychotic episodes.
Those are realities for each and everyone of us, without exception. It's not possible for me to believe otherwise.
