Hey I understand where you are coming from on this, and I do believe it is human nature to compare and feel low when we think we have it rough in comparison, it really does depend on your state of mind at the time, I also revel in what i call self pity at times when I feel low, but when my spirits are high, i really think about it hard and feel blessed to have so much, I too do not have much material wise especially for my age, gosh my niece who is only 22 has more material wise than I probably ever will, sure I feel envious at times and I hate it when I have those feelings, but in all honesty I do, and I often feel if only I had money, i could do so much good in the world, not to mention i feel i could be happier, but as Catnapper said it can appear on the outside to everyone you have everything, but inside there is nothing but a deep big black hole.

Don't be hard on yourself for having these thoughts, I think in all fairness we all do from time to time, just as long as you can keep it all in perspective and realise from time to time just how good we really have it, I think about the poor victims of the hurricanes in USA, the Tsunami, earthquake in Pakistan, and just the poverty stricken world in general and I feel extremely RICH. and FORTUNATE, don't you?
