A Message to the World

This world needs an attitude adjustment.
There is nothing in this world that a person cannot handle without a proper attitude. I'm sick and tired of people complaining about the lots they have in their lives and not doing anything about it. I'm sick of people who don't show any sort of care or even tact toward others who they feel "do not deserve it." There is a serious lack of tolerance -- both towards their own lives and the lives of others -- in this world. This world needs to get over herself.

You are wondering what brought this on, aren't you? Well, yesterday I was with my Young Women's group and this one girl, who I'll call Mrs. Duct Tape, said something that just disturbed me. You see, there was this new girl in our group named Tara. She was a cute girl. Blonde, nice smile, and she smiled all the time. But when she talked, she sounded a little different. You coudn't quite understand what she said all the time. But she seemed so nice, and she didn't say anything mean at all.
But Mrs. Duct Tape, who's always been this high-and-mighty Queen of Everything, had something to say about Tara.
"I can't stand her!"
"What?" my leaders said.
"I just can't stand her!
"Why?" I asked.
"Have you HEARD her talk?"
"Yeah, so?"
"It is SO annoying! I can't stand her!"
One of my leaders said, "You just can't stand her voice, not necessesarily her."
"No, it's her. I swear, it's so annoying."

That girl has issues! It's just a stupid speech impediment, and she's making a HUGE deal about it!! I said right out loud, "You need an attitude adjustment." And she does. She cannot change Tara's voice; the only thing she can change is her attitude toward it. But she doesn't. Instead, she complains and insults and makes everyone else uncomfortable. I hate that so much. And it's all over the place. We are living in a world where everything seems to be handed to us on a silver platter. If we ever have to be uncomfortable at all, we make a big stink about it. We mope and complain and blame others and act like idiots. Wise people take what they are given and don't fuss about it. They make the most of it and smile at the blessings they receive from that experience. Live with what you've got. Sure, you can hope and work for more, but until you get more don't make other people suffer because of your discomfort. If you are poor, work to get more money. Don't assume that there will be someone to just GIVE you money. You need to earn it. Lean to work. And sacrifice a little bit! You can be uncomfortable for a little while!! If it means giving up your perfect world with big-screens, Ferraris, and people you deem "cool," so be it! Don't complain!!
EVERY PERSON IN THIS UNIVERSE HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE HIS OR HER ATTITUDE ABOUT ANYTHING! IT MAY TAKE EFFORT, BUT IT CAN BE DONE, AND IF WE DO THAT, THIS WHOLE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER, HAPPIER PLACE!!!!
