This era that we are growing up in will be looked back as the golden years of humanity. Relatively no significant wars, historically low poverty and starvation, and technological advancements that allow the poor to live better than the kings and queens of the past.
I dwelled on this fact as I sat on my top grain leather sectional, with an IPA Sculpin beer, watching the football game on my big screen TV, while checking my fantasy football score on a smart phone that has near infinite use from music, videos, pictures, calculator, alarm, weather, finance, dictionary etc...
I dwelled on the fact that I have two cars parked outside my garage, that I own a $2500-3000 dog that in the past would only be reserved for nobility or upper class. Dwelled on the fact that I owned a laptop, Ipad, and Iphone, something that would be the utmost luxury going back as early as 1980. And most importantly dwelled on the fact of how lucky and fortunate I am, how lucky and fortunate we all are to live today where you can go into any super market and pick out your cut of beef, pork, fish, lamb, and poultry that your heart desires. Thought about how this is exclusively a modern privilege, because back in the day there would've had to been a holiday or special occasion for a family to slaughter pork or beef for dinner, and it would've only happened a few times a year.
