What I mean by the 'easy life.'

I have the easy life. Always have, I suppose. Had a nice mother. And father. And step-father, too. A younger brother. And a younger sister, too. A good education. A nice tour with the army. In Europe. In peacetime. Had nice jobs. Writing for newspapers. A good and long marriage. I've lived long enough to retire. And I have the ability to travel. And I'm in love. So, overall, I've had the good life. Oh, I complain. About politics. And social and economic situations. About the state of the world. But it's nice to live in a country where I have free speech. And a reasonably comfortable and easy life. --Jim Broede
