What's with all the negativity lately? At the risk of sounding like a complete bitch, I have to ( clear up a few things. )

real life, rants

Wow! Ever thought about being one of those motivational speakers or a "life tranier" or whatever they are called?! I for one have been feeling a bit down in the dumps of late, and so much of that got me thinking! So, thank you!

LOL! No, not really, because I'd be so tempted to just whack the silly people who can't figure out what's right in front of them. I didn't expect anyone to read this, actually. I just needed to vent a bit. People of my generation seem to have this feeling of entitlement that society should provide for them and they deserve it just for being alive, then whinge when it doesn't happen. Um, no. You can't ask everything of the world without putting something in yourself. It pisses me off.

But I'm glad my rage helped you in some way. I hope things are looking up in your life. :)

I'm always interested in other people's take on life. I'm one of these people that should often take the advice I give to others! I also tend to let things get to me, instead of talking about them and asking for help. So then I get down and grumpy and things just feel so much worse when you're like that. It usually just takes a chat with someone to perk me up! Reading some of what you said made me think about how good I've got it and how much power I have to change some of the not so good things. And also reminded me of how I have used that power throughout my life. People who would rather sit and whine about things than get out there and live scare me!

So, well done you and thank you!

I think we all tend to forget sometimes how good we have it. I know I whine about work whenever I've had a bad week, then have to stop and tell myself--hey, there are people dying in third world countries and you're complaining about stress in your 9 to 5? *g* Perspective is a wonderful thing! And yeah, those people scare me, too.

You're welcome. Thanks for slogging through the whole thing!
