I find myself more often than not longing for a better world for my fellow man (how corny does that sound?). I've had some great experiences growing up (and I'll be the first to say that I'm still growing up), and I want others to share my good fortune. When I do get down, I have a line from "West Wing" that perks me up:
Are you in a tough spot? Yes. Do I feel sorry for you? I do not. Why? Because there are people way worse off than you.
