complainage

I have been thinking ALOT about people who complain. I have started to realise that theres always something to be pissed off about and something to complain about. There always will be, and there always has been something to complain about. I was speaking with someone the other day, and I asked them how they were doing and they said "Its a good day, because im alive" and it forsure got me thinking. I realise that there is stuff going on in life, and yes, it can be so shitty and unfair and injust and you wonder 'Why you?' and 'Is it ever going to end' and 'other people dont have these stupid circumstances in there life!' etc but its better to be alive and dealing with these, then not right? Sometimes im sure we have those moments where your down on your knees begging Jesus to take you home but in the least most painful way, but preferabley overnight in your sleep because you just hate the thought of waking up tomorrow and it dealing with a same shit different day scenario as its just too much. I know these things all to well im afraid. I was looking out the window of the bus this morning and was greatful that I was alive. Ive heard a lot of tradgic stories recently around people dying etc and I have to also be thankful that I am not in any situations nor have I ever been that are even slightly similar to these horrific things. And I wonder myself, how do people deal with situations like these, its completely heartbreaking. My sitautions then become very minor in my mind. Sure theres a shortage of money, but not of ability to make it. Sure, people fuck you over and you feel hurt and dissapointed, but I have an amazing family and support network. The silver lining always makes me annoyed, because sometimes I dont want to see the good in the bad. I want to see the bad, everythings bad, OH how I hate the bad, my life is so bad blah blah blah . But seeing the silver lining is a choice. I know it will be a choice that I will have to make probs everyday for the rest of my life, and I know that somedays I just flat out will not feel like being that person who loves the bad because theres a plus. Everybody needs that 24-48hrs to feel sorry for themself. But for today- I choose the silver lining.
