Easy Come, Easy Go

I've decided to look on the bright side of things and rather than portraying a negative aspect on those who have things come so easily for them or possibly handed down on a silver platter, I've come to realize I have a new respect for the phrase "easy come, easy go." A lesson we one day all learn in life is you appreciate things you've worked hard to accomplish much more than things that have just been given to you, or things you do not need to try at. I'm more and more amazed at the amount of people that receive everything on a silver platter, no effort put into it at all. There are also those people that will take credit for jobs they've had absolutely no imput in, these people are also everywhere. I find it mesmerizing, almost laughable, they have no shame. Another thing I've been finding ridiculous lately is people that "think" they have problems. Yeah, you have problems because YOU are the one that created them. You're in debt? You did that. You got married to soon? You did that. You had children too soon and now you're financially in trouble... I don't feel sorry for you because YOU did that. You don't have a job? Go get one. Why don't you take a look at the TV at all the terrible things happening in Tokyo, Tsunami, Volcano erruption, death, they had such a strong economy...probably one of the strongest in the world and you think YOU have problems. Don't look at me and complain about the problems you've created for yourself. The people in Tokyo are the ones that have a hard life right now, don't know where their next meal is coming from, possibly don't know where they are going to sleep that night and YOU have a large enough ego to convince yourself that YOU have a hard life or you have problems in your life and people should feel sorry for you or help you out? Quit being selfish and realize that you are lucky to have the problems you do. You are lucky to not be the one in Tokyo that just had everything you've worked hard to achieve taken away from you not to mention the loss of loved ones. My heart goes out to them. Maybe you should take a long hard look in the mirror and realize how selfish you are to think you have problems, you don't have problems. Just you thinking you do means you have so little to worry about that you are turning your tiny problems into massive headaches. If there is anyone that can complain about the little things in life, it's me...my life revolves around murphy's law, anything that can go wrong will, but when I look at myself I don't see these issues because I'm looking at the bigger picture. So maybe it's your turn to take a look at the bigger picture and realize just how lucky you are and make the best of your situation because it could be a whole lot worse. Next time something bad happens to you think about how much worse it could have been and think about how lucky you are that you are the one that creates your own problems, not something of greater force you can not control.
