It’s hard for me to say I’m tired or complain of a sore muscle when I see things like that. But the same goes when I see someone with a deformity or whatever I just think… hey you have it pretty good. Suddenly my outlook changes. Not feeling sorry for them, but they can help keep the rest of us in check when they pull off feats like that. I just feel like too many people get caught up in their own selfish ways and don’t realize that there are others out there who have it far worse and they should be thankful for what they have. My advise, don’t be selfish, rude, diseatful, jealous, or have a bad attitude or negative behavior. Be happy and stay positive because there are others who have it far worse and their attitudes are great when they have gone through so much. |
