I think more important than just realizing you're lucky, is giving something to those who aren't. If you believe in God, maybe that's why he put you here.
I am a very lucky person, and i forget about that sometimes, and it's a pity that i do, i mean, i could be over in Iraq, or poor, or in some 3rd world country, it puts things in perspective.
I Thank God every night before I go to bed, thanking him for giving me the life that is before me, giving me a loving caring family and allwoing me to have all there is to offer in life. I am so thankfull, I somtimes think what my life could of been like if I were born into a diffrent family or diffrent country. I am so thankfull that God chose to put me where I am and to have given me all the opertunitys life can offer.
I donate 15% of my income. It means I miss out on at least one meal a week. It's only a token gesture, I know.
I'm always sure that our world can do better for its people. We just have to help it along the way.

Ps Eon... thanks for linking my thread, makes me feel worthy.
yeah, I often do, although I have to see someone worse off then me to remind to it, which I think is bad, I should be thankful for my life any day.. shame on me for taking it for granted..
personal opinions are to be shoved up your personal ass.
Well, I must admit that I do not really often really think about this subject, as I've got some (compared to real problems, little) problems on my own. But those are negligible to 'real' problems.
So therefore I thank you for reminding me. Because, yes, I do know I'm very lucky the position that I'm in. Extremely lucky, actually.
And, it's also good to think about all the things you take for granted. Flowing water out of the tap, playing games, having fun with friends (who probably are also healthy, and have good lifes).
The world is a very bad place for most people, if all wealth was distrabuted evenly than than each person would get 9,300 dollors a year. Our history teacher told us a very sad truth, if we aren't off expoliting some poor 3rd world nation than our quality of life goes down. Either way you cut it the world is a very poor place still. We have much wealth but no morals. Other nations have no wealth and no morals.
I think i'm pretty lucky that I am very smart and was born only with allegies and athletic asthama. If I was born anywhere but a modern nation i'd be dead by now because I wouldn't be able to be drafted to fight in some war over a cow or something.
I just wish that their was someway we could share the world's wealth in a fair way so that poor countrys can catch up. Could you even imagine actually dieing from the flu like so many people do in 3rd world nations do everyday? Here they give you a shot and your fine. But they can't even afford a 20 dollor shot!
Never goes a day without me thinking about that at least once. I feel so sorry for people who have it much more bad than I do, I just wish that I could do something to help them.
