Thread: Things you take for granted

The most obvious one? Internet. More specifically, speed of the Internet. I find myself frustrated with my laptop if the network is even slightly slower than I am used to even though I criticize other people for doing the exact same thing. Very ironic.

I have a decent job, and despite the money I make, I still get extremely stressed about financial "difficulties". I.E., not being able to afford a new game.

I afford the roof over my head, the internet/cable/telephone connection (quite good/fast, better than expected), the clothes I wear.

If I could change anything about myself, it would be to appreciate what I have given myself financially rather than stress and let greed take over.

it's obvious you two (@ steeler118 and bennybonzai) don't have a straight head.



when you have smth, you get used to it and kinda forget the importance of those things. i can name 2 things we all forget to appreciate while living our everyday lives: our health (*coughs blood) and the people we love (*yvonne and the 3 T-I ladies )

The luxuries we all have in The netherlands.

as an american, i know that i take alot of my "rights" for granted. freedom of speech, religion, assembly etc. i have no fear of my country. i abide by the law and pay my taxes, and i feel safe.
i know there are many many people in this world that dont share these same rights. hell, there are millions if not billions that dont even have clean and safe drinking water.
our grocery stores are filled to the brim with foods of all kinds.
and to close this, i think we americans have taken it for granted that we are the only big boys on the block, that are economy is infallible...we are now seeing that we are sadly mistaken!!!

Air conditioning.... I couldn't live in Houston with out it.

I think i take for grant water. A lot of people don't have water in other countries, but me i don't give a sh*t about it.

People; perhaps. Usually we only realize how much we've taken them for granted when they're gone. The closest to our hearts are probably our parents.

I think that the key is to try and see how we would be without them, usually that causes a shift in our behavior towards those things/those people. :)

Now that im thinking about it i would say internet..
