Is there not always an
alternate way of looking at a situation? 
It is quite easy to bemoan your current circumstance.  “Woe is me. 
Look how awful this is.”  And
then, are your eyes not pointed toward one in a situation you would judge as
far worse?  And suddenly you are grateful
for what you have. 

Yet, at the same time, there
may be another who looks upon you and is grateful they do not have to face your
challenges.  In experiencing what you are
experiencing, you are helping another. 
How you choose to see your situation is always up to you and is always
relative. 

Is there not always
another way of looking at a situation? 
Infinite ways, my friend.  We highly
recommend choosing the one that brings the greatest peace.
