The miniature earth

I have to say, it moved me.

I liked it, too.
:snap:

Me too -- good use of the Donnie Darko music :) :) (which moved me in that movie, too). But 75% of the world's population doesn't have a bed, a closet, and a refrigerator? That's an amazing statistic.

I often find it strange to put my own life's problems in perspective. Each social/financial strata has their own problems -- I mean, everyone has "real" issues, it's just that the basic necessities of life are addressed (and/or sometimes taken for granted) in most of the people's lives around me.

Thanks CP. I even made the boy watch it. He said " It was eye opening". It definitely helps you put things into perspective, doesn't it!

Wow.

yeah, ok, so I cried. so what?


I've always known, and like to constantly remind myself, that I am so fortunate and live a far richer life than 99% of all the people alive and who ever were alive.

I can never be thankful enough.


But our planet plainly sucks and I want to try a different one.

All the gratitude in the world does not make this mundane things of my life not suck.

Must spread mojo before I can give any more to NA.

Nice find, CP. I always find these things fascinating.

Personally, i find that gratitude does indeed eliminate or calm a good deal of the sucky things in my life.

It's all about perspective anyways. Changing that perspective can change anything.


Nothing is objectively sucky. It's we who decide to make it so.



Granted, some things are going to be deemed sucky by most rationale people. It's still a perspective.





Anyway .... as bad as things may suck for any of us .... we know they could suck way, way, WAY more. Sometimes I am very glad for my problems. They may suck to me .... but I'm fully aware that if these are my problems, I've got it pretty good.

If all I have to worry about today is the stupid traffic making me late for work then I have it pretty good. That traffic may be caused by an accident where someone will never make it home.
