Life is short, if you aren’t getting shot or blown up you are having a better time than most people, don’t forget that.

I tell my 94 year old Dad that, "We're just walking between the raindrops nowadays" in terms of random bullets flying at the grocery store, in a parking lot, in church, coming out of the movie theater, INSIDE the movie theater. .....

The getting shot, stabbed, beaten with baseball bats, hit by a car...was my late teens, early twenties.

At this point in American history, if you haven't been shot or blown up, you're probably better off financially than you think you are, cause you definitely ain't one of us poors

You try to enjoy it, but it's really hard to enjoy knowing so many are, and it's only a matter of time. A type of survivor guilt.

Sometimes I think, "What would it be like if your house suddenly exploded?"
We can't even imagine what living in a war torn country is like

Of course here in America we’re getting shot at all the time. Yes it’s by our fellow citizens, but still…

American police and the US government are the biggest gangs on the planet. We’ve been targets since this country was founded.

I've lived a long, safe life free from wars. I have often been grateful that my parents chose Canada after WW2.

Try to keep it that way. You are a little behind us/US but you are on the path.

I appreciate being a Canadian everyday but the level of distress around the world is hard to watch. Doing everything I can to help human rights and relief organizations but it's never enough. The world is on fire 😔💔

Not being blown up today seems like an unacceptably low standard of living, for anyone.

True. The outdoors is a good leveller. Mountains make you feel small and part of something bigger. Been a good thing for me :-)

Once in a while you can get shot down and still have a good time. Both can be true.

If you can have a hot shower whenever you like, you're better off than most, too.
