Did I strike a nerve ? That's not a hard thing to do because you have
A LOT OF NERVE ARMY, and being judgemental is so unattractive and beneath someone that has been so blessed as you have been. I have posted judgements also and I have got to stop it. Its not neccessary.
Your experience is a sheltered one, as was mine. I have no complaints about my life at all. I bitch about some things but all in all I did OK. I could have done better, that's the truth.
I
do not diminish you or what you have Army, because I recognize your accomplishments and you should be very proud, but a bit of humility and thankfulness doesn't hurt anyone. My hubby was just as ambitious as you and thank God for it.
Not everyone that didn't have the good loving parenting or less than a high school education should be reduced to " trailer trash" (you have a trailer phobia) I have found in my life time that most "trailer trash" would feed you you and shelter you and give you their last dime if needed...
Did you ever watch the movie "Grapes of Wrath"? That is a great historical movie. Shows what happened to folks in this... richest nation on earth.
Through no fault of their own and circumstances beyond their control, they had it very rough....... If you choose to watch that movie.... The Joads family is the exact family that my in-laws were. I learned alot from them, that I had no idea about because I was a
military brat.
My very fondest memories are of those poor ole sharecroppers. Daddy had been in WWI, the oldest son in WWII, and the baby boy....Vietnam.... They had not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of that was their own... and back then if there was any help they were too proud to take it. I think the reason for starting the welfare system was because of folks like them....
Anyway take it for what its worth and you also can consider the source. There is no way to really know what
motivates a person to choose the smoother road or the rough bumpy one.
