If you have more than that, be thankful. But even if you don t have more than that, you re alive, you re in this world. There s a benefit to that, which a person recognizes when he believes that there s purpose to living here. If a person gets used to not expecting anything, he ll be thankful for whatever he has. If he gets used to expecting alot, he ll never be happy.
People have a tendency to look at things in the most negative way possible.
When the sun goes up, they say its too sunny. When the sun goes down they complain that it s so dark. Whatever the situation, no matter how good it might appear to someone else, there s always somebody who ll find something bad in it and focuses on just that. Related to this preoccupation with the negative, people like to exaggerate their problems. They get pleasure, even a sense of vitality, in making their problem seem worse than it really is.
