Here's a good example of people ruining their own fun: 1st graders in classroom A get to eat ice cream instead of doing classwork for an hour. They get all the toppings they want, and as much ice cream as they can eat in that hour. Classroom B is full of first graders who each get one scoop of ice cream, and while the teacher reads the lesson, they get to eat that one scoop of ice cream, the lesson takes 20 minutes, so they have to finish in that time and then start back on their work. The kids in classroom B are super happy to have ice cream during the lesson. They are in a great mood... until they get out of school and hear what classroom A got. All of the sudden, classroom B is crying that it's not fair that classroom A got a better time than them and they feel ripped off. So I applaud thebattitide of enjoying what you have, because your life, and your outlook is what you make of it.
