Life is life and nothing more, I suppose... but, it means different things to different
people depending upon where one lives, one's financial means, and one's personality, motivation, and determination.
And, while that may not sound abundantly clear at first, let me try to explain.
Growing up in the South is different than growing up anywhere else even if you have the same parents and the same financial status because the South has different cultures than anywhere else... and those difference are not easily understood until one lives in Southern jurisdictions.
Similarly, growing up pretty much anywhere in the United States is different that growing up in Europe: Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Russia, and countries from the former Soviet Union. It is also different growing up in South America, Canada, Africa, China, Asia, or Australia.
Each of these countries and/or locations have different: values, ethics, personalities, and integrities even though we are all human beings.
- Inside our bodies are the same as well as outside although we have different features
- We are all born and we all die
- We eat, defecate, and procreate
- We have spirits, minds, and thoughts although some are different and not so understandable
- We all have the instinct to survive and experience greed
- We are all susceptible to various diseases
- We all have the ability and capabilities to learn
- We all have skill albeit different
- some want power and fame
- some want wealth and glory
- Some want to be in the military and go to wars
- some want to be artists and musicians
- some want to be athletes and coaches
- some of us want to write while others want to read
- some want to control
- some want to be controlled
- some of us just want to be left alone
- some of us want what we can never have
- some of us have what we never wanted
- some of us have faith while others have spirituality
