Troublesome World

It's a troublesome world.  All the people who're in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You oughta be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
For the places and people you're lucky you're not!

-- Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904 - 1991), more famous by his pen name, Dr. Seuss, American writer and cartoonist, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? (1973)
