"What did I do wrong?"
My wife and I were watching a television movie about unemployment in a mill town. The leading character was having a rough time.
He had been laid off for quite a while. He could get no other work, even temporarily. Savings were depleted. Bills began piling up. And he was starting to snap at his wife and children, whom he loved dearly.
Then one day he broke down and confided to a friend what was really bothering him. In effect he said, "I've worked led a good life. I've worked hard. I love my country and what it stands for. And yet I'm broke. I've lost my job and my truck. I'm about to lose my home and my family. What did I do wrong?"
