"First World Problems" - Take time to smell the flowers?

I'm just thankful that my kids don't need to see people dying of Ebola in the street outside our front door.

Some people here need to be a little more 'glass is half full'

Many I know say that we are a very rich nation and then point to the 3rd world. I am not interested in hair brain points of views like that and it shows they have never ran a business because if they did it would be sure to fail with half wit comments like that.

That 'new age PC god' is only there because we allowed it to slither into the fabric of our society. Now, those who advocate for all manner of deviancy and abnormality have silenced the great majority. And somehow we let it happen...

I'd like to thank chaos and chance that I was born in Australia, and maybe the flying spaghetti monster, cheers mate.

too right! and I reckon getting those missiles out of the water feature wouldn't be much fun either.

I'm afraid I'm an old tragic, my glass is not "half full" nor is it "half empty".....my glass is always overflowing, I always see the best in people until proved otherwise, I always expect the best in life until proved otherwise, I awake every morning with a song in my head and "great expectations" in my soul for what the day holds, can't wait to get amongst it.

"first world problems" mean nothing to me until I sort out how to bend my legs to get my trousers on and how to get my arms through the shirt sleeves, then the big one, THE SOCKS.

not much fun getting old and full of arthritis, i don't think much of the alternative either, so there you go, however when I see the little fellers who have spina bifida or cerebral palsy or downs syndrome then i don't feel too bad.

I volunteer regularly in a "special needs" learning facility...(my second family)....the kids I see and the things I see them doing, all with a smile, makes my "first world problems" seem very insignificant, every minute of every day is a struggle for some, we that are born "normal" have so much to be thankful for.

yellow, black, green or brindle, life, and the place we live is what we make it.

I was told a long time ago "we are here for only a short time, make the best of everyday".......too true I'm afraid.

"first world problem's" Pffft!!!! no such thing.......seize and embrace the day.......everyday.
