Imagine: You went through a lot, if you were born in 1900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should be thankful that we are alive.

Imagine you were born in 1900, let us go through a timeline!!

  • When you're 14, World War I begins and ends when you're 18 with 22 million dead.

  • Soon after a global pandemic, the Spanish Flu, appears, killing 50 million people. And you're alive and 20 years old.

  • When you're 29 you survive the global economic crisis that started with the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange, causing inflation, unemployment and famine.

  • When you're 33 years old the Nazis come to power.

  • When you're 39, World War II begins and ends when you're 45 years old with a 60 million dead. In the Holocaust 6 million Jews die.

  • When you're 52, the Korean War begins.

  • When you're 64, the Vietnam War begins and ends when you're 75

A child born in 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult life is, but little do they know they have survived several wars and catastrophes.

Today we have all the comforts in a new world, amid a new pandemic. But we complain because we need to wear masks, we need to stay indoors and get away our favourite entertainments. We complain because we must stay confined to our homes where we have food, electricity, running water, wifi, even Netflix! None of that existed back in the day. But humanity survived those circumstances and never lost their joy of living.

Imagine: You went through a lot, if you were born in 1900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
