"Given the amount of unjust suffering and unhappiness in the world, I am deeply grateful for, sometimes even perplexed by, how much misery I have been spared."
We tend to go through life lamenting our lot, when in actuality, there are few problems compared to others who are much less fortunate. We worry about buying gas at inflated prices, while others worry about having enough to buy food to live.

Wow. That quote really does say one of the things I am most thankful for...
Awesome thought, thanks!
Lately, I've taken to calming myself down over problems by saying to myself, "Some people have real problems." Amazing how well it works.
