Everybody's lucky except for me.
Cars, money, vacation and more.
It use to be the case, but having those things aren't everything. People lost them selves when they are lathered with all these delights. They are the people who are self absorbed and think that they have it bad because they didn't get something their way.
NEWS FLASH: They have a lot more then a lot of other people. (Much unfortunate people)
All they do is (WANT) Get over it! Seriously! There are people less fortunate than you by far.

How about a dad who's an alcoholic, who when he drinks is abusive?
How about no love?
How about true hate?
Children without parents? or anyone for that matter? Food? Clothes? A place to live?

Still thinking life is miserable? Is it that horrible?
Having everything handed to you on a silver platter, yet wanting more?
That's how it always is! People like that disgust me.

A true work of art! Not a beauty though, more like a train wreck. Take it all for granted? One day they won't be so lucky. Maybe then they will see what they had all along, because everyone knows that's when their misery starts.

SNOBS! they got it, why not do something for the greater good? Or is that too much to ask?

Humanity--> Selfishness....humans are a selfish race, oh so very true. Especially Americans!

Christmas for instance -in America- want, want want. Anything and everything! In other countries such as England, they don't go over board with Christmas. Not 100 presents each. Try 1 or 2! Simpler, and they are more grateful! (Go figure) -It wasn't suppose to be about presents-
--Giving-- That's what it was. something you need!

When my parents were children (well at least my dad and his siblings) they may have had a few christmases with presents--the rest without love, or parents around.?!--

Love is the best present you can give and giving a hand to people who need it.
-You can't wrap up love--
Or can you?

That was my point! Just because things seem bad doesn't really mean they are there is always going to be somewhere out there who has it worse and you should be happy with the life you have.

This seems a bit harsh. People have problems even if they have good lives. Just because someone is better off than yourself doesn't always mean their problems aren't valid and don't hurt.
