Tyou.The problem with the past is that it is unchangeable. I have quite a bit of experience with people complaining about their upbringing or wrongs done to them, they keep reliving the past and dwelling on it. What is done is done, we either learn from our past and move on or it consumes us and we are doomed by our own hand. I have a friend that makes my childhood seem wonderful by comparison. He was born in prison in New York, he was in the foster care since he was and infant, he was molested, starved, beaten and neglected from foster family to foster family until he was 12, he was then put in a group home because there were no foster parents available for a boy that age. He was placed with a foster family at 15 that actually treated him well. He still keeps contact with them and considers them family. He joined the Marines when he was 18, he has stunted growth because he was starved as a child, but even though he is only 5'4", he worked hard in the Marine Corps and joined Force Recon. After getting out of the Marine Corps (helicopter crash where he broke his back and suffered a traumatic brain injury), he went back to the Boys home and worked there while going to college, he then joined Customs and Border protection and worked with them for a few years at the border in Texas. He later came back here and worked as a Deputy Sherriff before finally coming to work at our agency. He has a family and works very hard. His childhood is a matter of fact that does not affect him negatively, he just makes sure to provide his son with a better life. Compared to his life, I had it made. That is why I don't think too much of people complaining about how rough the US is. Besides, I have spent a substantial amount of time in third world countries to know how good we have it here.
