“Going nowhere” relative to what ?....People who live in ‘Third-World’ countries, having no clean drinking water ?.....Someone who is paralyzed from the neck down ??.....A person with a terminal disease ???
You and I are not likely to find the cure for cancer, write a hit song, a best-selling novel, or be the next person to walk on the moon.
Most people will never be the next Madame Curie, Tom Hanks, Martin Luther King, or Bill Gates. But most people are damn lucky to be born when they were, where they were, and get to enjoy a much higher standard of living than almost anyone who lived before them.
Unless I’m wrong, you were BORN somewhere, right out of the gate…..
