I think that people always want more than what they have. There is ALWAYS something else that we want. I personally believe that there’s nothing wrong with wanting more, but I think that we should also not let our “wants” make us forget what we have. So, my question is….How can a person just learn to be happy with what he or she has?

I’ve been working at a local restaurant for a little over a year now. It seems that no matter what I do or how hard I work, people get mad at me. I treat everyone the same, I give them no special treatment, and I don’t talk about any of them behind their backs. It was just brought to my attention 2 girls were upset by the fact that I always seem happy. Could this be true of the other girls and if so why?

It seems like life is not really all about making sure you are happy. Happiness is a dilusion, and an excuse for people to be selfish and childish and use the excuse “I’m not happy”. Do you agree with this?
