The Luck of the Draw

I've always looked for things to be happy about, growing up, mostly because I found so many people were unhappy, and there were plenty of reasons for it. We'd just won The War, but we lost 420,000 loved ones, and the rest of the world fared far worse. Some 60 to 85 million people died. No one knows exactly, there was just too much destruction. But it was after the war ended and I got older that the level of destruction begin to sink in to my young brain and I realized how lucky I was to be born in America.

To be born into the world's most powerful and richest nation is an incredible gift. Talk about luck of the draw, you don't get much luckier than that. At the time I was born there were about 2 billion people on the planet, and only 130 million in the USA. I was born in the safest place on the planet, just before the world started caving in on itself.

I think we seldom give thought to that, how fortunate we were to be born here, let alone be born at all. Life is a precious gift, but life in the USA is so very much more so.

When you look at all of the sniveling and whining posted by folks here it is pretty clear that most do not share your opinion, I for one do.

Every American should thank God for being born here. Not only is America the most prosperous country, the freest, and a land of opportunity for everyone who wants to work hard to achieve success, but those who don't like it are free to voice their discontent without being k**led for it.

Never realized just how lucky until I entered the service but when to see with your own eyes how people live then you realize just how lucky you were. Think you went without at 11, did your home have a dirt floor or grass roof? Did you have things to look forward to or will you spend your day looking for food.

Thank you for a positive post. I have read so much gloom and doom on here today, I was getting depressed. We do live in a wonderful country, and I have been blessed with a wonderful life. Not wealthy, but wonderful. Most of the time my prayer ends with "Thank you God."

Because it seems they are never given enough, al least according to them.
