It was not from me, I assure you. The advice may not have been entirely relevant to me, but I did appreciate it. :)
I am grateful to you for saying that.
That really depends in what way one is referring to, as well as in what country/region.
That actually depends on the country: better than a lot of developing countries? Most certainly. But there are a lot of developed countries with far higher indexes for freedom, (lack of) child mortality, civil rights, education & literacy, and economic prosperity. America actually ranks pretty damn low for all of those values.
I can certainly see how that would affect one's perspective. If your life is better, I'm happy for you!
