What's wrong with the way people think?

Could it possibly be because THEY weren't T-boned by drunk driver, THEY didn't lose their leg, & THEY haven't had to experience Mono??? You have been BLESSED with a unique perspective on life!!! Whatever you do, do NOT lose that perspective!!!

The only thing I can think of is that people are so wrapped up in themselves that they forget to enjoy life, or themselves, beyond hard partying when not working and cashing a paycheck.

When I go to a friend's place on the lake, no one can figure out why I'm always the first one up. That's because it's tranquil in the dawn hours. I can run to the marina, grab a large cup of coffee and just enjoy a new day unfolding in front of me as I sit on the slip and drink my coffee. The marina is quiet, the water is smooth as glass, the ducks come by to see if I've got any food for them, and for an hour, maybe two, it's quiet and peaceful. Then as everyone starts to wake up, the only thing they're concerned with is themselves and immediately partying and to hell with peace, quiet and tranquility. It is somehow my fault for being up early and not immediately racing into town to restock beer and cigarettes. They're far more concerned about themselves than they are actually enjoying a three day weekend.

I have seen this before many times from many people - it happens a lot to me

some people are so sure that just everything works out right and everything will be bright

but there are some people who have actually had lives and experiences who using the scientific method can disprove not necessarily for anyone else but at least for herself that it is untrue

There are more people who see things that way

so many more than you will ever possibly know

just because you know of no one like this

doesn't mean they are not out there which is due to ignorance...

and they are much farther along the Path of enlightenment

than you are at this time...just keep on going...

You may catch up to those who do think at a higher level than you

I think when you've been thru a tragedy & seem to have lost everything, you learn to appreciate the little joys in life.

Pets also are great in taking away any cares & problems. When my kitty jumps on my lap & purrrs its like what else do I need?

Well, sweetie, I'm glad that you are seeing it that way. i was awake at sunrise this morning, but hadn't slept yet from last night. lol.

Easier said than done for most but i personally agree

Because I have both my legs; how could I see your situation without experiencing it?

i think its great that youre so positive and sorry to hear that. i dont think that someone who wouldnt think positive after that would be thinking wrongly though.
