I would like to recommend some traveling to other places around the world. Go spend a month in China or India. While America may have some problems, things are really good here. There is low crime, a decent government, generally honest police, decent schools. Much of the world is still struggling with these things.
I spent 6 months traveling with my mother in Asia. Accommodations were were not always real good. I loved my mother and I tried to get a nice hotel, but it seemed like there were always too many steps, not enough room or the room "was not light and airy." One day, we were in a town were we got a really bad room. There wasn't much to choose from. It was up three flights of stairs, musty, dark, dirty, but it was a room. After that I heard no more complaints. suddenly all the hotels were better. i wished I had taken her to a room like that two months ago and I would have had two months less of complaining...
One has to ask how they want to go through life, and we can always try to fix everything or appreciate what is good... By historical standards, by world standards, by almost any standards, we are doing really well right now. Appreciate it!
