Rags to riches stories why they tick me off.

RE: Rags to riches stories why they tick me off.
As a 12 Stepper, I've encountered quite a few people over the years that have found themselves literally set for life, and have totally pissed it away.

and then;

Some years ago, the neighbor lady had me transfer some family photos to disc. Her dad I had always viewed as a damn hard worker that never got a break. He wasn't destitute, but he lived his whole life with damn little in the way of possessions and died in the meager straits he had always lived.

My shock looking at the pictures was considerable. Not one of them showed him with anything but a smile on his face.

I don't know about the rest of you, but there is a lesson here . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
