Relativity

It is what it is, unless it is not.

Everything experienced and dreamed of is rated using a polar based value system, each end being opposite of the other, and using this value system individuals will either complain profusely or be dancing in celebration in response to all events.

Let me explain: 

Without the experience of freedom, freedom is not recognized. Until that freedom is infringed on and then for a brief moment you will again remember the real value of your freedom. The same goes for things as simple as temperature, monthly salaries, health related issues, and so much more. 


The jungle is massive
In this realm of the relative we reside in, it is easy to begin taking the finer things in life for granted, and even the purest of situations that we might found ourselves in we can drown ourselves in unnecessary scandals of the day to day life.

The swahili culture have the saying "Hakuna Matata" - there are no problems - and I believe this culture has it so right in that statement (Not to say they live it entirely). More often than before I now find myself simply sitting, breathing, smiling at the simple wonder of just being.

Broaden the horizon
Situations all come and pass, some will be glory and some will be grim, and the only thing that is actually different about the two are the way you perceive these situations and what you are able to learn from them.


Look deeper
I too am in the process of learning to be more patient, respectful, and understanding but this is fine too. As long as you keep learning :)
