-This is true and sort of funny. Its such a plain truth that it is hilarious! Everyone else is worried about themselves and most of the time they don't care what you think.

Mainly because it makes them miserable. And who likes being miserable?

If it is raining outside when you wake up, YOU can say, "Great, now I have to walk in the stinker rain and get my shoes all wet, and then they'll get smelly. Huh! This sucks." Or YOU can wake up; see the rain and say, "I love the smell of rain. And now I don't have to go out and water any plants to day because the rain has got it covered." It all about how YOUR ATTITUED!
