Voting Question: why can’t people appreciate what they have if they have pretty decent lives?

31/10/09

i know there are some people who despite having a few good things in their lives, have terrible lives. but there are some who have decent sized clean homes, necessities and a few luxuries, yet still want more. i am 20 and i think, at least in this regard, have learned the secret unlike some older people.

my cousin, who i love, don’t get me wrong, is 32 and her husband is 20. she grew up in a comfortable sized, not huge house, with about 4 rooms on the first floor and 3 bedrooms on top. enough for everyone, plus another room i think. she is supposedly not about material things and so is the family, and for the most part this is true, however her mom ha said her children, don’t have a pot to piss in. i don’t know her personal life and what trouble they are in, but i think they make enough to get by. so to compensate her mom and dad are buying a house in the poconos so they can vacation.

i’m not jealous, but i am annoyed because i think she thought she would have a lot of money. (i love the family but they think too highly of themselves.) if you have a healthy husband and child, a decent house (two rooms on first floor, but still nice), and a few luxuries, why not appreciate? i have and i grew up in a really dirty old house and my room didn’t have much heat during the day. this really irritates me. i used to be the same way, but i’ve grown up.

***btw she always brings up being poor. she doesn’t mean literally though. she has said her child likes to run around his grandma’s because it’s big.
I meant to say her husband is 40*****
