In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had."

"They were careless people,
Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and then retreated back into their money....and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

~F. Scott Fitzgerald, from “The Great Gatsby”
