We humans never appreciate what we have

Isn't it obvious? We always want what other people have. We can't see the bright side of what we have. We prefer to look on the dark side of what we have. This is the attitude that we all have, admit it! When we look at rich people, we would wish we are rich. When we look at lucky people who get everything, we would wish we are lucky. When we look at successful people, we would wish we are successful like them. When we look at champions in competitions, we would wish we are the champion. When we look at pretty people, we would wish we are pretty. Isn't that typical human-thinking? We look at those who are better than us, but never look at those who are worse than us! Why don't we look at those who are poorer than us, unluckier, less successful than us, losers in competitions, and less pretty? If you want to feel better, don't compare yourselves with those who are better, but compare yourselves to those who are less. If we keep comparing ourselves with those whose life seems to be perfect, we will never achieve ultimate happiness even at the end of our life! Just take some time to think about yourselves. Who do you normally compare yourselves with? Your smarter friend? Your richer friend? Your luckier friend? Your stronger friend? Your prettier friend? Just ponder about it. We, humans living on this temporary planet, want to be the best. The best among the best. And we compare ourselves with every other human who are better. This makes us forget about the less fortunate but only care about ourselves. It is time to change our mentality. Why don't we start appreciating everything we have?
