People also don't want to be born in poverty in third-world countries, without access to decent healthcare or education. You are extremely fortunate (read lucky, certainly through no merit of your own) to have had the opportunities that others never will. This kind of self-entitled crap is especially unpleasant to read, but hey maybe it will sell your book.

You are right, I've been blessed, in the sense that I have no responsibilities or children or old parents to take care of and I feel even more lucky that my parents have always been extremely supportive in whatever career or profession I chose to take. But I do take solace in the fact that I've never been dependent on anyone financially or otherwise, since I've saved up quite a bit all these years.
