We take way too much of what we have for granted. And realizing that fact sucks at first, but it's also greatly encouraging. This is a minor example of what i'm trying to say and not accomplishing: The father of my patient yesterday is from southern ohio, and he was saying how he's never been to Lake Erie, and that he'd like to take a trip sometime, with the guys and go fishing. I'm there all the time. I make fun of it's filth all the time, to the point where I won't even touch the water anymore.
Does that make me selfish for not appreciating my proximity to the Lake? I don't know. I felt like I should have different feelings regarding it after that conversation.
Stupid.
I don't appreciate my nonmaterial possessions and experiences enough. Or maybe I'm wrong.
