[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 592104, member: 1640"] Mostly agree with you. I just have a couple of guard rails from my own experience that I have to keep in mind. One is that not everyone who works hard and has integrity makes it. To me the ultimate cruelty is to tell someone who has just been crushed by life that they should have just worked harder. In the scriptures it is Job's friends who tell him in so many words that he must have done something wrong or not had enough faith or these bad things would not have happened to him. Then of course there is Ecclesiastes 9:11. The second guard rail is summed up for me by Mark Twain who said, "Show me a self made man and I will show you a self laid egg." In short, all of us one way or another stand on someone else's shoulders. The only thing I am ashamed of in my own life is my failure to recognize sooner how many family members, teachers and friends were helping me along the way. I have gotten so much more in life than I ever deserved. My hope in my later years is to try to be a little more understanding of other people's struggles. [/QUOTE]
