"Sure, there´s always someone out there that is worse off than myself, but why would that make me happy? "

BECAUSE IT AIN'T YOU and in the course of you life you have avoided shit that would put you there.


But then you have to take into concideration that I AM A SPOILED BRATT!!! therefore i tend not to even think about the point you were tryin to make lol


Well, my point was that even if there´s somebody who is worse off it doesn´t necessarily make me happy. A poisoned egg and a rotten egg are both useless right? (unless you want to throw them at some idiot smile) Just because the first one might be worse than the second one doesn´t mean that the second one is fine. It´s not the best of metaphors, I realize that, but it´s the best I could come up with at this hour...

Anyway, I do agree with you that life can be good and that we shouldn´t complain about petty things or take the good things for granted. I´m just saying that it would be foolish to deny the bad things in life (like a lot of people do). Then we will never deal with our problems.

Now good night you spoiled brat you! wink

I AM THE 'BAD THANG' IN LIFE
I AM King BAD a.k.a. BAD,
YOU EITHER WANNA BE ME, OR BE JUST LIKE ME

Yeah, It can be... wink If you believe all things have purpose
and learn from them as part of all creation to make a better way...
Today, tomorrow. No reason for bitterness and sorrow...

Life will guide the ones with love inside...
Always has and always will forever... wink guitar

I do understand your point, but I have to add that it´s a hell of a lot easier to find happiness in each moment if you live in a nice environment

If your environment outside isn't "nice", make the one inside "nice"...mine inside is full of half-empty boxes, some piles of paper, and a lot of space...that's why I looked outside...

have kind people around you

I have noone around me...it's just me, alone.

have no financial worries etc...

I definitely have my share...

I feel confident that in the end you´re better off acknowledging both sides of life. Ignorance is not bliss and never has been.

You can only acknowledge what you percieve...so if you change your perception, you're able to acknowledge everything. If you find yourself needing to avoid and ignore certain aspects of your life in order to be happy, then you're doing something wrong, I agree.

I understand that your life isn´t perfect either. My comments weren´t aimed at you personally. And like I said, I do understand your point. It just always feels disheartening when I hear that the little things that people appreciate in their lives are often things that I don´t have. To be able to focus on the positive things in life is in some ways a luxury since it assumes that you have a certain standard of living to begin with.

I´ve seen many people living in sheds with garbage lying all around. When people see that they think "Why don´t they at least clean up the garbage so that they have something positive to focus on?". The answer to this is that they are so far down on the ladder of life that they are beyond focusing on the little things. If they were just a little bit further up it would have been different. Then they would at least have a fundament to start from. But they don´t. I´m not saying my life is that bad, but I hope you understand my point.

Life is good, life is beautiful. While we cannot speak for the world, we can speak for ourselves. We will never feel/see the world and life identical to anyone. We must always respect each individual life, for we can never fully/realistically feel anothers heart of emotion. heart

peace
