Occassionally, we tend to forget how easy we have it, especially in the states. Compared to over 99.999 % of the entirety of the earth's all-time population, we live better than royalty.

Every once in a while, we get a reminder of it.

Toni got this a few days back - it's from her Twitter feed. I removed anything that would identify any of the senders, but I left the messages. The dichotomy struck me as pretty powerful. I'll let the picture says the rest.

You guys give thanks today, OK?

I hear you, and agree. It's very easy to forget the absolute luxury and ease we live in compared to even modern times in other locations on this planet.

That said, I bet you just made that person feel like a complete douche. heh.
