Just a thought...I do not compare myself to people that are / or seem to be less "fortunate" because i cannot assume / especially that they are more or less satisfied or happy in their lives.

My half-sisters grew up in poverty / Mex gangland style and they were 10x happier than me and my other half sister, because they never for one second doubted our mom's love for them.

My one sis and I were raised with means far above and beyond and were 10x more miserable and psych damaged because we did not experience that same type of unconditional love from our (adopt) mothers. In fact, looking at my one sis, you would never know in a million years that she was so eff'd up. She passed away though at 39 from od/drug addiction
