February 7, 2009-The Gratefulness of Ungratefulness

The funny thing about people expecting what they haven't worked for, but thinking that all is owed to them, when they haven't even worked for what they are expecting.
The expectations to live, pay taxes and die should seem simple enough but yet it amazes me that some choose to complicate such simplicity.
I mean death or paying taxes isn't on many people's list of things to do but it is an inevitable circumstance that we must face by having life.
If you work hard then sometimes the rewards are more than one can expect but if you don't work at all or at least try and still expect a reward, would that make sense?
We are living in a time where people are loosing jobs, homes, cars, and family members who can't accept reality and yet some are ungrateful to have a job and a means to provide for themselves or their family.
So what if the little perks have to be taken away.
It is better than to have the bigger perk taken away where everyday you are wondering how you are gonna make it and take care of you and/or your family.
The gratefulness of ungratefulness is that one day your ungratefulness will blind you of the gratefulness you already have.
Then you will look back on the times when you should have been grateful for even the simple things of life like living, paying taxes, and eventually dying.
Death is the inevitable circumstance we must face for being granted the gift of life.
Not that it was our choice to come into the world so it will not be our choice to leave this world, but being grateful for what you have is better than ungrateful for what you don't.
