Past Regrets and the Future

It is easy to envy those who have more than we possess.  The Mishna, however warns, "the more flesh, the more worms."
A parable:
A family climbs aboard a train.  They have no car, no place to call home either.  Each member carries his own suitcase.  The parents have their heavy suitcases full of a lifetime’s accumulations.  The children bear only small packages.
The little ones have a future.  And that future is worth all the massive suitcases in the world.
Do not look behind you.  It is past.  It is gone.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
