I didn't make an assertion one way of life was better than the other, I just stated there is an adjustment. No one automatically has it any better than anyone else. It's impossible to say that a couple of children born to affluent parents in a suburban setting will have it "better" than one born to a big family on a farm where it is expected they get up at 4am to milk cows or spend hours a day in a rice paddy. It is the fundamental nature of life that it is difficult and filled with challenges physical, spiritual and emotional. No amount of modern convince can will that away. You get some new convince and something else is taken away. It's hard to replace the love and attention of a parent with a video game and it's equally hard to replace the wonderful exercise of imagination required to play where no official toys exist.
