All of us TAKE things for granted right?  Well, for everything that is taken for granted there must be somebody out there GIVING things for granted.  Are you one of those good people?

Sometimes I give people things that I can, in turn, use myself. For instance, if I give a friend a fantastically cute shirt I usually give it to them on a condition: that I can borrow it. However, I don't usually let anyone borrow my things. I want credit for my cute and unique clothing, I don't want someone else to get the credit.\n\nThis isn't answering your question, only furthering my belief that there is something wrong with me...

My real friends accept me for who I am and also don't let me cut them out of my life so easily.  You find out who your real friends are even when life changes (moving away, new job, new school, bad breakups, etc).  They've been there for me through it all and I hope I've done the same for them.  These are the people you can count on when life seems to be going the other way.  Yea, there are times when they aren't perfect, but are you? No one is and you only try your best.

I believe that there is good in everyone but sometime people take advantage of thier goodness and use it hurt others just because it is easier to do evil than good.  We should not get down when we see evil from others, after all we will all be judge of our works by God in the end and reap our rewards then.  Just keep doing good, God's keeping score.

I do a little bit. I don't want to find a best friend, but I would like people to respect me. If not then why is anyone here? We all deserve respect wherever we go.

Be Independent, don't take others for granted, NOTHING comes free, even if it does, check every where for that hidden price tag! Treat others like you like to be treated. and most importantly BE GRATEFUL!

other people doing good makes them feel inferior, and makes their own short-comings be more obvious. it's easier for them to knock on you than do something to impact their own lives in a positive way.

ALL people are selfish but to different extents\n\nif somebody let you down it doesn't mean you should completely stop trusting people - just be more careful who you trust next time

Some people get a lot of joy and peasure in helping others, and it's real admirable, and i gotta love them for it.\n\nBut i am selfish. I am happy doing what I wanna do, i don't wanna follow some moron's vision of happiness, i wanna be me all the time. I dont give two hoots what anyone thinks or wants if it doesnt fall in my view. I can compromise, but i don't often, why should i make myself unhappy?

Apart from the death of my father, I can't remember an occasion when things have gone downhill and I wasn't in some way responsible for it, either directly or through inaction.\n\nSo I agree, we have a lot to do with our own life situations.

Why is it that when everything has been going bad, something GOOD happens?\n\nBecause we are all starting from imperfection and zero experience.  And there are temptations and pitfalls that accrue from not heeding the true basic tenets handed down over the ages, just about everywhere (including different cultures and religions).\n\nLife is a struggle, we have to team up and cope with the challenges.  There will be some disappointments along the way, you cannot control what others do, only yourself, and even yourself not always...\n\nAll the most needed things are free.  As for those things that require effort or money, be satisfied with what you really need as opposed to what you want.\n\nEven when we are old we must continually remind ourselves about this.  \n\nYou see some people who are unbelievably wealthy and unbelievably UNHAPPY and may even do crimes because they WANT SO MUCH, they are never satisfied.  Also, comes from living too much for ONESELF and not enough for others, helping others, working with others, sharing with others.\n\nHappiness is doing what is right and being satisfied with it, even when the surroundings are messy, all $%^#$&^^ up.\n\nIt is possible for heaven on earth if you think about this.  Meanwhile, you can have heaven in your own little spot, for sure.  There are ups and downs for everyone, even perfect visitors.

I think its safe to assume that the only person we ever really know is ourselves and even that can be doubtful sometimes. The thing to understand is that people arent perfect and make mistakes. The key to knowing if they are worth our time is to note if the negative things they do to you are a pattern and a repeating cycle or just a sometimes things. If its sometimes than chalk it up to just being human. If its a pattern Id call it abuse and not have anything more to do with them.

When i know and can see somebody is really true in the heart and really in a bad situation i try my best to help.  I may not have all the money to do so but i try to and even though i dont give a lot, i think its better than nothing.  I see people in poverty and imagine what it must be like being in their situation and my heart just breaks.  If i ever win lots of money, i will rather help those in need.  Thanks for having a kind heart!

Do you mean to sacrifice to achieve the happiness you deserve? That would be 'my' opinion, anyway. To work hard and save money, not spending money on every little thing I don't need, that is an example of what I mean. That you added 'you deserve' is an interesting thing. A lot of people seem to think they deserve something 'without' sacrificing.

Excellent point.  I guess we all want confirmation and support even if it's wrong because we always feel better in a crowd that believes the same as we do.  That's why as good answer-ers we need to be honest in most cases.  Our honesty may hurt at first, but we may really help someone in the long run.  MY OPINION good question!

I'm thankful things are as well as they are but I wish I was with my family.  The main thing it to be thankful every day for everything in your life and to love your family while there's time since we never know when it might be the last chance to do so. God bless!

I do. Especially annoyed with bad drivers. Sometimes I even wish I was in an island all to myself. Of course, as long as it has internet, food and w*. I've always said, being nice and good to others is the hardest thing to do. Me, I just try. There's too much grief, hunger, war, and fighting in this world I sometimes forget how lucky I am to be here. Life is hard, and if you are not living, then you are dead.
