while you might not have all that stuff (who does??), remember What you have and think about the billions of people around the world (and some even in the US) who dont have electricity, running water, or food on their table.. Then shouldnt we all feel lucky?
Of course you're right. I just did the stupid survey at a time when I was talking with my mom about how difficult things have been for a long while because we don't have the money we need right now and things just aren't looking good. I'm incredibly grateful for everything I have, I just had suck timing when I did the survey is all.
I never said its a bad thing. I think its kinda great because I dont want like 40 of those things anyway. Of course I have it better than millions of people and I learn about that everyday. Sometimes its hard to think about how much you have when everyone around you has more. There are moments when I just dont want any of it and give it all away but I have so little give in comparison to some. Even me writing right now is a gift and a display of my wealth, I know that of course. I am blessed that I can do interesting programs, and sleep in a nice bed, and have a great dorm, and eat good food and have water that is not contaminated. I feel blessed everyday and if I had one of all of those things I would not be a better person or a happier person. Anyway I just wanted to make that clear. The more you understand about history and current events the less pity you give yourself... but I think we are all allowed are weak moments
