Now, it's one thing to not judge people who "seem" like they have everything.  But there are those people who are always comparing themselves to others and making themselves unhappy, that is what bothers me. I try really hard to enjoy my life for what it is at this point.  You just can't look at other people, or where they're at, and what they have.  That never made anyone happier.           

I mean like people who have a good stable paying job, nice home, cars, good wife or husband, great kids and still groan and complain about how pitfull they have it. Granted we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but these people are never ever happy.

And I think that's the point. Some people just won't be because they'll focus on the one bad thing someone said today or they'll take a situation and look at it negatively and let it bug them instead of letting it go. Those people just won't be happy no matter how good things are because they just have the glass half empty syndrome.

An example....my DH cooking last night post. I came on and told how he drove me crazy for 20 minutes but I told it in a funny fashion. I also made sure to say how he does lots of other things and is great at many things. There are many people who would have come on and said "I can be near death and my lazy azz DH still can't do anything" or "I think he just pretends he can't cook so I'll have to do it all the time" or "he's so worthless", etc. and they'd have been truly angry. Not that I'm saying I'm so great, but just making the point that the same situation can be viewed in so many different ways, and people who always take the worst way will always be unhappy no matter what. Problem is I have never seen someone like that who changes. Not sure what it is, but it's just a different way of viewing life where I feel they bring much of their unhappiness and frustration on themselves.
