Complaining.

It's funny, I can easily come up with many things to complain about that would make an up to par blog.

Why is it so easy to complain?

90 percent of the blogs I've read are complaints, and I'm sick of it to the point where I don't even read blogs anymore.

*Don't think I'm being a hypocrite here! I realize my blogs are mostly complaints.

Well I take this one to give thanks. I'll start with the basics-

-I have a family that is together and reasonable, but more importantly, a family that taught me to love.

-I have food in my belly. Yummy Chinese

-I have a beautiful house on the lake, in a basically crime free neighborhood, in a beautiful state.

-My only need not yet met is that I sort of need to go to the bathroom right now. Dang, I guess I'll have to go sit on a nice heated toilet seat in a newly redone bathroom!

Alright, so the basics for life are easily met with luxury for the most part. With just that I shouldn't be complaining.

Here are some blessings-

-I've got good friends

-I have straight A's

-I do decent in sports

-I'm not butt ugly, I think

-I have many opportunities to go on trips and vacations for no reason but pleasure

-I live in the most successful and free country yet to grace this earth

-I choose what I want to do for the most part: The joys of freedom.

I think you get the point. I bet I could have easily gone on to make that list more than one hundred points long.

And yet I'm unsatisfied. Going over that list should make me feel overjoyed, but really I feel very little emotion when I read it over. Sad Huh? What on earth is wrong with me? Are my greedy ambitions unquenchable?

It seems that every time I am blessed with something or succeed, It just drives me to want something better. This is good for it creates progress, but morally it seems wrong. I feel like a soulless greedy bastard, and I don't want to be. I can't find a solution.

So I'm going to go to Japan and meditate with master chu te nii for a while and reflect and solve this problem.

Ha, guess what! I just started complaining about complaining!

Where does it all end?
