I came upon this earth in 1961, back then aside from classism fears, poverty, push backs against change and some of the privileged subjugations that remain into today it was a very good year. I was raised to see myself in others and to have empathy of walking in that persons' shoes.

From then till now I've had successes and mishaps but nothing so drastic or tragic to sway my outlook of optimism. ("Yes...I can")

With all things being equal to sustain life's balance cheerfully I say "Rainy days are refreshing and can be rejuvenating and when it rains too hard or too long a promise to look forward on is that the sun will come out tomorrow"

No man is an island onto himself - - - We all are interconnected and interdependent one to another "we all have frailties or short-comings of sorts" for nothing and no one is perfect, thus each should try to be practical and fair as each is truly needing one of another to sustain if not uplift his/her existence by and from another...... and sadly at times fairness or common sense doesn't always come easy from those[with power;in power] that are titled or entitled above "the others" .... How well can I sleep? knowing your inability to or your hunger will send you to rebel against me for a lack of opportunity if not prey upon me to take what I may have that you need, and I have plenty to share if I only had enough empathy to care.

Not all are going to think of me as he/she thinks of him/herself Nor see me as he/she sees him/herself and sadly won't want or expect the same privileges or entitlements as are seen for themselves

As ugly as selfishness is this is an expected flaw of human nature though not too sensible in rational reasonings to coexist healthy and peaceably with others and the planet earth. In this life what you do with it is just as important as the legacy you leave of it.
