I don't agree with that. It's self-congratulatory. Why should you only go ra-ra-ra at what good has fallen into your lap? Isn't it at all possible to reflect upon the bad things that have happened as well? Or perhaps do you live in a world where bad things only happen to other people?
Believe me, a lot bad has "fallen into my lap." And yes you can reflect on that as well. But that's not something I want to be at the forefront of my mind. If I was constantly thinking of the things I've been through I'd be an angry mother fucker. Look, everyone, myself included, is susceptible to sadness, I know that. Take that story I linked, the girl is contemplating suicide because her fucking iPod broke, her vacation was cancelled, and she was getting a little chubby. Those, in my opinion, are stupid ass reasons to want to die. If that was me I'd try to change my perspective on the issue. Try to find things that I can be grateful for. How about the fact that she has enough food to eat? Maybe that she has the resources to own an iPod? Or that her parents are of a socioeconomic class that can afford to plan a vacation in the first place? Or is this all too "self-congratulatory"?
i hate everyone
