Something is bothering me lately, and its that many ppl dont want what they have. I mean, if they are married, then they want to me single, if they are single then they want to be married, if they have children then they want to be free and if they dont have children they want to have children, and not only in those areas but in everything in their lives and it is bothering me very very much.

Because i feel that the ppl are not appreciating the things that they have and i feel that they are only wishing and wishing and only asking and asking to God without appreciating and being fullfilled by the blessings that God gives them each day, and i think that they are despising what God gives to them.

So i need help and some advices because i dont want to harden my heart, im aware that we are brothers and sisters and we need to support each other, but i dont know how to do that.

thanks
 
The most perplexing things are often the simplest, this being a good example.

Human beings fear having what they want, because all that is left is losing it, and that is a great destroyer.
There is a reason people push away true love, it scares them, it's why people who want true love settle for less, if they lose it, it may cripple them, but it won't destroy them.

People do want these things, but they can't bear the fear of losing them, so they push them away before life can take them away.

At our foundation we are profoundly illogical beings.
 
Hi Liz01...I have seen this at times as well, and yes it can be saddening. Especially when it concerns being married, or havng children. It is one thing to complain it is too hot, or too cold, and not be satisfied on either side of the spectrum, but it is another not to be satisfied within a choice of being married or having had children. All I can say is that while it may seem very widespread, this feeling of being unsatisfied, it is not "all" people who are like this. I for one, am very, very happy in my marriage and with having had two beautiful daughters. And there are many more. Sadly, it is the ones who complain that stick out, is all. I personally think the best way to support anyone, is to project your own satisfaction in your life out to others in way of just being positive with how you speak of your life. Showing that you will in no way speak ill of your life, whether it be of your spouse, children, or lack thereof, but instead speak of the good within your life, no matter where you are within your path, will encourage others to do the same, or at least maybe not chose to speak ill of their life, with you. God bless......
 
Thanks for your comments and advices,

Matthew : Youre right, sometimes as human beings we fear to lose what we have so that make us to put our effort everyday.

Nanabean: I agree you with you, i have known many ppl like you that is happy with their lives too, (not everybody wish other things), and its very nice to see when someone appreciate the blessings that God gives them :) I will be careful of what i say of my life too.
