Gratitude comes to people in life different ways .
I heard a person say be grateful all the time for your life " That's how I'm sober and clean 20 years up to this day " .
The road has being a very difficult one .
A lot of pain but I didn't become grateful until I came out the other side of it . I still go through crap . You can't go through life and expect life to be plain sailing " I thought that way before " . It be lovely if it could but no one escapes life .
People with as what you said about the moaning and groaning that complain " no offense " but you wouldn't have a clue what there going through .
Maybe they need to moan and groan to get gratitude. I would being still moaning only for people that guided me to a higher power that I understand cause I tell you hear and now I'm nothing myself with out a God in my life .
That doesn't mean when you have God in your life that life goes plain sailing . It means that relying on myself that I'm not afraid no more cause I have someone that guides me and someone that guides me I wouldn't of getting there from the help off people that took time out for me through my moaning and groaning .
You never know what someone else is going through .
You touched on it yourself " with the happy faces to the outside world when there torn apart from the inside "
That's the dangerous part cause there the people that would want to end there life .
People are on different stages with there lives .
And do you know what you would put most of there's lives down too on a label for them " Grief "
Depending on how far there grieving and how much they can take that leads people into mental difficulties and that's where " the happy faces comes in " cause they don't want to be left vulnerable to hurt again .
A friend of mine said to me about life .
" You never get life a 100% right . The only time you get life a 100% is the day your in the grave "
That's why people need higher power .
That's the whole purpose of a higher power .
If your left to your own devices , most people and actually I met no one that It didn't happen too , most people are left with an empty soul , despair, hurting , anger , frustration, having trouble forming a true relationship . I can go on and on with this one but everyone suffers from all of these and if someone told me that they didn't at some stage in there lives I tell them there in the wrong place .
Everyone is a different stages
