Ingratitude

"There is nobody more miserable than an ungrateful person...."

We are all guilty of taking life or the lives we live for granted at some point. Whether its having so much on our plates dealing with family obligations? Kids? Dog? Cleaning the same things and yelling the same things at/for your family day in and day out? Being alone/single? Being employed? Getting a smaller check than you believe you're worth or just the everyday traffic jam. Bills?

Now take whatever it is you complain about and imagine you didn't have sight, smell, strength, family, freedom in the country you reside and pay bills or a check at all - how would you feel then?

I myself can admit I take what life I do have for granted at times, but I couldn't imagine my life any less than it is right now.

Just take one moment from your day when you are complaining to check yourself - imagine your life without those things you complain about.
