Having said that I believe much of what happens to you in life is self inflicted. My granddaughter works in the medical field in a job dealing with suicidal drug addition. She is employed by a major hospital in the Northeast and every night they are inundated with people begging for help with drug addition. They do what they can and hope they have helped, but the next night the same person is back. She told me she has to get out, it is soul destroying to see people literally killing themselves for drugs.
I truly believe much of what you make of your life is learned at home during your formative years and if you are unlucky enough to have parents who use drugs (either pills or alcohol) it is very difficult not to follow their example. So we are right back to the haves or have nots.

The future CAN'T be bright for today's youth as long as it costs too much for them to afford an education in College. For most, only the military is a possible way out of poverty.
