my nephews have a better life than me. but their lives are way harder and stressful than mine was. they have zero free time apart from holidays. they do nothing creative or exploratory, every minute of everyday is scheduled.

their college educations are paid for. mine wasn’t. but they will work way harder to achieve less. but they eat way better food/healthcare, have better clothes, have better homes, etc than I ever did.

of course they are growing up this way and thus they don’t and never will appreciate how good they have it. they already are razor focused on the fact that someone else has it better than them and how unfair it is they aren’t traveling to europe for family vacations like their friends are.
