Birthright

A friend made an observation the other day when we had been talking "The difference, the only reason I have... and you don't have... is the family I was born into and the family you were been into."
I find it so easy to be condescending to people who have not experienced things I have experienced and have trouble doing things I find fairly easy, forgetting that often these things come from my background and people who have taught me over the years.
Why is so often forgotten that 'at such and such a time I got through it because ... and ... we're pushing me through and supporting.'
If I am just making excuses lets eliminate some of the excuses.
How many people have glasses, take off your glasses, stop making the excuse that you cannot see clearly and do the things you normally do without them, don't cheat and wear contacts. Do it for a week, see if you can maintain your job and get around, then come and talk to me about excuses.
