In Perspective
 
Imagine being born in 1900
When you're 14
World War I begins
and ends when you're 18
with 22 million dead.
Soon after the world pandemic
a flu called ′′ Spanish ",
kills 50 million people.
You come out alive and unscathed,
you are 20 years old
At 29 you will survive the global economic crisis that began with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange causing inflation, unemployment and hunger.
Nazists came to power at the age of 33
You're 39 when World War II starts
and ends when you're 45
6 million Jews died during the Holocaust (Shoah).
Over 60 million dead in total.
When you're 52, the Korean War begins.
When you're 64, the Vietnam war starts and ends when you're 75
Baby born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how hard life is,
though survivors from various wars and disasters.
Boy born 1995 who is now 25 thinks it's the end of the world with his Amazon package going longer than three days or when he doesn't get more than 15 ′′ Like ′′ for posting photos on Facebook or Instagram. .
In 2020 many of us live in comfort, have access to various sources of entertainment at home, and often have more than we need.
But people complain about everything.
Still, they have electricity, phone, food, hot water and a roof over their heads.
None of this existed in the past.
But humanity survived far more serious circumstances and never lost the joy of life.
Maybe its time to be less selfish?
stop complaining and crying.
