Life before money was &quot;solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short&quot;.  In fact I wouldn&#x27;t choose to live anytime before the last 100 or 200 years.  1950 or later would have been my preference had I been given a choice.  For how much we all like to armchair quarterback our current system (yes.. capitalism), it&#x27;s easy to forget how bad 99.9 percent of the human experience on this planet would have sucked comparatively.  That&#x27;s not to say let&#x27;s quit trying to fix things, but take a deep breath and look around.  Things are pretty good.  There is an unbelievably high probability that you and all your children live to old age.  You won&#x27;t have to be too cold, too warm, or too hungry during your stay.  Not bad.
