Easy.

In passing, you think:


"Life is easy for her"; or
"Wow life was good for him, he has such an easy life"; or
"Those kids had it easy growing up"

and then you walk a mile in their shoes and find out
...things really weren't just that easy!

From Despair To Hope

"From a geometrical standpoint it's on a direct line between the Lincoln Memorial and Jefferson Memorial,"
"The brains and essence of our country (Thomas Jefferson), and Abe Lincoln, the greater uniter."
~Bill Line, spokesman for the National Park Service
