I think because I can try and put myself in their shoes, it makes me appreciate what I have even more. It also makes me angry with people around here who complain all the time. They don't know how good they have it. I'd love to grab the whiny so and so's and make them sit in front of movies like this for days at a time. I'd love to have them listen to real people who have lived through it, and then let them try and whine about their pathetic lives.
Couldn't have said that better myself. I listen to people piss and moan all day at work about NOTHIING that is REALLY important!!
I have to add a funny little story for you, I was at a health fair sponsored by my health insurance carrier last summer in our memorial building which houses all kids of community activities like this. It's a big gymnasium aditorium place. Anyway, me and medical stuff DON'T mix. I passed out cold while getting my sugar tested, and in that "just coming back, don't remember what the heck happened, why am I on the floor and my arm hurting" place for a brief moment I thought we got bombed. I told my mom and she said, "Maybe you've been reading a little too much."
