The Oh-so unfair world

We all keep complaining how life and everything is so unfair, especially when it comes to ourselves... why is it that we always get the bad end of the deal? However, life is truly unfair to all, as we all expect and want different things, our goals and dreams continually changing with each progression. I don't think anyone's truly satisfied with life. Humans always look for improvement and newer things to replace the old, just to acquire new things that they've never owned.

What about those who are really destitute and living a life much worse than many of us are living? How about those who are born with disabilities and illnesses that consume most of their lives? Shouldn't they be the ones to complain and moan on the unfairness of life? Who are we to compare our lives to theirs? Who are we to complain about our lives, when we so obviously fail to see the blessings that we've been given?

We are all guilty of this.

However, I think that if one has lived in a minimalist environment his entire life, he would not know of the advances and improvements that he may crave for; therefore, he is most contented with life. When you don't know what you can have, when you don't know what others have that you don't have and you don't compare your wealth with others, that's when you perceive that you are in bliss. Perception is sometimes better than reality, no?

Perhaps the wealthy are really not the wealthy... it's the destitute and truly challenged people who are able to overcome the difficulties and live their lives to the fullest without a thought of negativity who are the wealthiest.

It's been so long... i feel so out of touch... so out of the loop... just like how i've felt since, well, years ago... what's wrong with me?
