Hi everyone,
It’s really interesting reading everyone’s thoughts on why so many people are unhappy. I just wanted to add the reason I think causes so much unhappiness. We all whine if things don’t go our way or if someone else has it better than we do. For some reason we tend to think that it is our birthright to have all the things and money we see others with. But the thought that shocks me back out of this line of thinking is that Jesus was born in a stable. Who am I to think I deserve more, and yet I have more already. Appreciation is the key to happiness! If you are truly grateful for everything you have (not just material things) but intelligence, talent, love, time, etc.; you will spend your life smiling and celebrating instead of being depressed. I guess it’s just your perspective that counts. Wow! My glass has got a sip in it, at least it’s not empty!! Ha! tizmepat=)
