the truth:with some cheese on it

No matter how much we complain about our school, we have no idea how lucky we are. People constantly complain about certain things that happen when these things would be trivial to many other schools around the country. Now I get in this mindset too, because it is very easy to get spoiled. And as days go on we get more and more annoyed and stressed out. The concepts of balancing school work, friends, family, sports, and any other activity that we feel deserves a spot in our lives just hangs over our heads until one small, unimportant thing can push it over the edge. So when it seems like someone may be freaking out over something as small as a computer not working, theyre really just using that as a scapegoat to let their frustration and stress show.To me, this concept has a sense of relativity to it. This means that everyone has their own "boiling point". For example, while one man is stressed about the hours and pay of their job, the next is worrying about just getting a job to put food on their table. When we look at it this way, it seems like the man with a job is being selfish even worrying about the pay or hours, because the other man is completely out of work. But really I don't blame him. Stress could be a good thing because it helps drive us to do the things that we need to get done to accomplish our goals. So what i am saying, is that everyone needs to find their equilibrium point, where the line of overstress and understress meet. This happens to everybody at a different point, so just think rationally about your reactions. Sit back, step away from life, turn the lights out, and take this however you would like; Chaz out.
