People are awesome. Um, this is not always true...take for example people who are jackasses to you on purpose, say at your job, just because they are having a bad day. But other than those people, yes, people are awesome. I, too, forget to appreciate everything that is good in my life, but we both are humans and humans do err. All we can really do is try harder and hope for the best.
A Life to Learn FromgoogolcomplexSeptember 4 2006, 15:29:00 UTC
My personal philosophy is that as long as I have learned something and grown in some way, everything is worth experiencing. Something good always comes from something bad, it's just not always easy to figure out what that thing is. But if you go looking for it, you'll be amazed by how you've matured, what you've learned, the people you've met and loved and lost and met again.
Everyone tells the same story differently. I try to make sure the way I tell the story of my life, there's always a happy ending. Because, really, everything has a happy ending, it's just maybe not the ending you expected.

I don't think realizing how wonderful my life is on the whole (and it is pretty spectacular) really is just enough all the time to make me feel better. That one (or three, or five) minor but important bits that are not where they should be / where I want them to be can throw it all out of whack. But maybe I am just not approaching it the right way, or something else is wrong with me or my approach? I frequently am oblivious to or ignore the wonder in my life, but when I am in the pits I often remember it and it does not really do much to change the situation other than make me feel guilty for indulging in such melancholy and self-pity when comparatively my life is great.
