What does life have to offer?

I was thinking all morning about how people say "life has so much to offer". Is it true? Does life really have much to offer? OR, do people make the best out of the life they have? I vote B. I think there are people who like to have pity parties and complain about what life deprived them of, about how much "bad luck" they've had and I think there are people who make the best out of life and make everything an opportunity.

Let me define this though: When I say make the best out of life I mean if you can only afford peanut butter and jelly, then you make the best out of it. I'm certainly not saying the monetarily rich make the best out of life, by no means. People who sit around and complain about only having peanut butter and jelly are never happy. They could be eating filet mignon and they will be wishing they were eating in Monaco. I always hear, "if we could only win the lottery", "I've never had good luck in my life", "I should of...", "I wish I had...", "If you only knew what I went through in my life...". How do people live like this always "wondering". Hello world! Everybody has a story! And you know what? I gaurantee you if you would take the time to listen to someone else's story -- you will find one more heartbreaking than yours.

Trials in life make us who we are -- that's it. If we all sit around complaining about them then we will never grow as individuals or learn anything. Complaining makes us sour inside and black. People who are never happy, I believe also like to blame everyone for their misery. They will not take responsibility for the choices they make in life.

I will never understand it. I will never understand how, they live their life like this - wasted! In the land of pity party.
