So........I have been pondering this concept lately and I think that we as a society are remiss. If you are expecting a lovely little philosophical blog today move on. This is about my ranting. We just finished the May long weekend. The first taste of Spring for those of us here in Vancouver. Many people get out to celebrate and enjoy life. They throw barbeques or parties, they get together with friends, the go shopping...all sorts of lovely things.
So over the course of the weekend I have been watching facebook statuses. And here's what I have come up with. People are selfish and need to stop whining and be thankful for what they have.
I saw fb statuses whining about iphones and absent husbands and free time and prices in Mexico. Well I challenge you to stop. Perhaps instead of whining about all those things, you should be thankful that you have an iphone, and a husband and free time to shop and money to shop and money to BE in Mexico. There are many that cannot afford rent let alone an iphone, many whose deepest desires are to have a husband, many who haven't had a vacation in as long as they can remember, and many who wear used clothing because they can't afford new.
So I want to challenge you: next time you feel like whining about something, turn it around and instead be thankful you have what you were going to whine about in the first place.
