How Easy My Live is Compared to my Grandfathers!

I think of the hardships of my current situation and past situations in my live and I am hysterically amused with the ease compared to the life of my grandfather. Working in government 3 C’s camp in his teens. And Military service as an only option. My great uncle’s description of a community with no cash flow. Just barter of farm raised goods. It is a concept so foreign to me there is no possible way I can comprehend. wow.
