I have found that living life in general that way is the best way to go. Going from day to day with a set of expectations only leads to disappointment and the inability to enjoy the "ride" so to speak. You get caught up in needing things to be a certain way and spend much of your time unhappy when it doesn't. This is something I have learned through personal experience.

thank you LOL although I thought your post was much better

I have learned a lot through personal experience but mostly I have learned it through watching my sister. she is the most materialistic person I will probably ever know. Everything to her is about material things. She has to have the best of everything. I remember her starting a fight with her soon to be husband because she couldn't find her expensive towels and she threw a fit cause she couldnt' afford to buy new expensive towels. he suggested just getting some cheap towels until they had the money to replace the good towels. She FREAKED. she went off on a tangent about how she bought them to go with the bathroom and she didn't decorate that bathroom to just put crap in it (lol funny when referring to a bathroom lol). I was appalled. Does a $20 towel do something a $5 towel doesn't? lol. I just see how angry she is ALL the time, I have NEVER heard her and her fiancee say they love each other or even say thank you, or anything nice to each other. I refuse to live life being angry all the time.
