Not all of us are fortunate enough to live in a comfortable home, enjoy tasty food regularly, to be in good health conditions, able to view pages on the Internet like this one.

Yet, all of us tend to complain from time to time how bad things have become, fearing they might become even worse in the future. In these moments, it helps oneself to think about other fellow people whom we share the planet with. Out of the way over four billion other people on earth, over ninety percent could not feel with us rich Westerners when we are in "complaint mode" about taxes, the laws, the government or whatever. Now, think for yourself.
