I respect my grandparents for the simple fact that they had far tougher lives than we have. Living today is simply a lot easier than it was  one hundred years ago and more.
I remember almost fifty years ago talking to a guy in his eighties,   a retired engineer who was helping a friend of mine learn some basics of surveying.  He said the young protesters of that time, the early seventies, had no idea about how much easier life was than in the early part of the 20th century. I believed him.
