By a similar token, people who are considered battlers in our societies are that much better off than people here, yet they still can complain about the rich getting richer. I suppose it's always possible to look at how the incredibly rich live (and it's easier to do that more than ever thanks to the media) and want some of it. It's also true that the incredibly rich are becoming richer, often with little regard for the less well-off. However, you can't really complain in our societies. True though, Rob, that in times before people didn't really obsess about their position in life - they just accepted it.

Anyhow, I can try but can't possibly truly imagine how miserable and wretched it would be to die of starvation - simply wasting away without food - yet it happens to many around the world.
