I never actually thought about that! I was interested to hear what Buddhism promotes; I had never asked anyone/read about that before, so it is new for me. It makes sense, though!
I kind of have been trying to look at it that way, now that I think about it. I try to think of all the good things in my life, even though there are some really not so good things happening right now. I am not successful always, however, but I try to think of how others have been through worse than me and how I am lucky in what I do have.

I am going to be a-lurking this thread now, because I am interested how others answer this question!

Thank you for the post, De Ming, and welcome to PC!
