it most certainly is not true. For example, American freedom comes at a high cost. Also, one’s health can sometimes be pricey, along with one’s drive to further their education.

give away? I was practically born an orphan---my mother dead ten minutes later, and you know what happened to my poor father. If somebody said Khaddish for them it wasn’t me till years later. If they were waiting outside the gates of heaven it was a long cold wait, if they’re not still waiting. Throughout my miserable childhood I lived in a stinking orphans’ home, barely existing.
