:roll: Buck,
You do not realize how fortunate of a time in which you live. With the advances in medicine these days, more kids than ever are surviving compared to 50, 100 years ago and even further back into time when it was much worst.
People in the old days had to have many children so that some would make it. It was common for two, three or more kids to die before reaching adulthood. Mostly, it was to diseases like smallpox, infections (just think a cut on the foot could kill a kid), and other complications where all too common. Many women died in childbirth where today that is just a simple routine cesarean that keeps them alive.
Life was tough and if you didn't make...you didn't make and it was as simple as that. The survivors were the tough ones...who been through it all.
Before you complain about your aliments of which you probably contributed to yourself, read your history about how life really was in the old days and count your many blessings...
