Life VS the Jones' or anything else for that matter.
Ahh, life. -Compared to a gnat/Tse-Tse fly, we live at least three hundred/thousand times longer.
-How would you like the life of a camel in the desert? Stinkin' all the time,,,,fleas,,,,people wanting to ride your hump. I'd be mean and spit too! :))
-All the kings and queens of old had not one ounce of modern day pleasures. 1)A/C for one. On a hot day ol' Henry the 8th was a sufferin' fool. 2)Refrigeration. No Dove bars for them! (popcicles, winecoolers, etc) 3)Microwaves. If they were hungry, even a servant took 15-90minutes before meal/snack time. 4)Stereo's CD players. If they wanted music on the road, they MIGHT have had a bard or violinist. Never mind the best musicians world-wide, unbelievable choices within reach of one's fingers.
What about all the truly poor in the world?
Gee...we've got it tough alright. Yes, we all have problems, and we need to work through them....But let's have some perspective shall we????!!!!!
Be thankful! "With gratitude doth pleasure awaken, while a bitter heart makes only room for sorrow" -Confused, but happy enough. |
