I just read an interesting story about twin brothers who grow up together under gruesome circumstances, both terribly abused...
One brother becomes a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, is in good health, has a happy marriage and happy, well-cared-for children, and a bright future.
The other twin ends up in prison, on death row.
After many years without any communication, the CEO brother agrees to visit the death row brother, as the jailed brother's last request.
At the end of the visit (with a scratched window between them and crackling phone lines to communicate), the death row brother asks his CEO twin:
"After all we suffered, how could you succeed?"
The twin answers: "After all we suffered, how could you not?"

p.s. I have no idea if this story is true or not. Probably not. But it makes a point.
