I just had a terrible night. I will not go into too many details but it involved losing a lot of money and breaking up with my beloved girlfriend. I would have to say it was one of the worst nights of the last couple years of my life. So as i was driving home after this shitty night I was thinking to myself what a piece of shit I was and how crappy my life was, But then i realized something. What a selfish piece of garbage i am, I am mulling over and being depressed about such insignificant problems. There are people dying of cancer,stuck paralyzed in wheelchairs, stuck in a war torn country and people that have just not made it and died early deaths. Seriously, I am such a fucking asshole for being sad about such stupid and small problems. I hope the next time one of you breaks up with your partner or gets your house broken into that you realize your problems are fucking nothing compared to others. I am lucky enough to be what i am, No more problems for me. Time for me to just start enjoying what i have.
everyone has problems, and even if your problems are insignificant compared to those of, say, a child in Eritrea, that doesn't make yours any less real. but it is good to have perspective and realize that things could be much, much worse. I'm glad you've reached your conclusion of being happy with what you have, but keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with wanting more and striving to get what you want. you are fortunate in that you have been born in a culture where you are able to chase your dreams, so make sure to take advantage of that wonderful opportunity.
