Complaining seems to come more natural than appreciating and being happy. We all know the story of the glass that can be perceived as half full or half empty. The glass is the same, the amount of liquid in it is the same, yet the perception of its reality radically changes according to the way our brain (or mood) chooses to interpret it. A thorny rose bush can be seen as a rose bush with thorns (and complained about) or as a thorn bush with roses (appreciated and enjoyed). Some situations and people are as they are and little (if anything) can you do to change them. But it's up to you to decide whether to drink what is in the glass or stay thirsty because there isn't enough, or complain about the thorns instead of enjoying the beauty and scent of the roses.
