People suffer in this country, despite our wealth. People have substance abuse problems, mental health problems, broken marriages, cancer, heart disease, deaths of loved ones. Our wealth does not make all problems go away.

Drug addiction is a result of a person's behavior
Bad marriages are a result of the couples failure
Death is part of life as is grief
Many health problems are caused by poor lifestyle choices
