Living past childhood.

Yes, lots of people feel their lives are awful, but compared to material living conditions even a few hundred years years ago nearly half of all children died before reaching adulthood, and the vast majority of the rest lived harder, more grueling lives than our own, with more illness and injury than us.

Yep, and you only need to look at other countries to see how it could be. Children are really vulnerable and just die a lot, as awful as it is.
