I love the fact that everyone complains about the minor annoyances in life, such as the price of gas or being stuck in traffic, and then go home to eat a bag of goat shit slathered in hot nacho cheese crunchies, not worrying about their health one fucking bit.
It never fails to amaze me how much a person (even myself obviously) can bitch, especially about the smallest, little stupidest things EVER. I mean, there are people starving in the world, the threat of nuclear weapons, murder, rape, and the most a single person in the states can say is, “God DAMNIT! Why is my TV dinner still FROZEN!?” Sometimes people need something to happen to them to make them see things differently. Like when a person has a near death experience and suddenly they’re loving all the things they wouldn’t normally love?
And on the FLIP SIDE, it’s amazing how when something traumatic and life altering DOES happen to a person, they don’t yell…instead they mope, whine and complain! So now instead of saying, “Forget not being at my dentist appointment on time, I’m too depressed, I have Cancer and now nothing is worth living for…” Then they go cry in their room for hours on end.
The minor annoyances are what make up our daily lives, sure, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ignore the bigger things because of them.
