Since the 60’s, all Westerners—even the poorest—live like royalty. With devices and amenities and opportunities undreamed by kings in centuries past. But people are not happy with what they have. They are envious of those with “more” (whatever that means to them), squander the treasures they have in their hands and cry poverty, and spurn the people closest to them.

It is not adversity that besets us with our troubles. But the plenty we have that so many take utterly for granted.

“It is not adversity that besets us with our troubles. But the plenty we have that so many take utterly for granted.”
