I have peace.
I have adventure.
I have troubles.
I have love.
I have friends.
I have families.
I should be humbled.
"Yes, but what truth? You can see which is truth and which is falsehood, but I feel as if I'd gone blind - I can't see anything at all. You boldly settle all the great questions, but my love, isn't that because you're young, isn't that because you've never had to live a single on of those questions out? You look boldly forwards, but isn't that because you have the eyes of youth, becuase life is still hidden from them, so that you see nothing frightening in store? You're more daring than the rest of us, you're deeper, you're more honest - but think about it for a moment, be just a touch magnanimous in your judgement, take pity on me."
Ranyevskaya in 'The Cherry Orchard'
by Anton Chekhov
It's one thing to be a good and nice individual.
It's another thing to be blessed beyond reason.
I am who I am, and nothing I am, deserves all this.
