I don't think a person can ever be happy without gratitude. Simply being thankful for what you have. Of course, we always want more and there's nothing wrong with that. It's one of the impetus for achievement. But human wants are like a Black Hole. It never ends. The more you have the more you want. So that's why it's important to appreciate the things we often take for granted. For me, it's just being able to live in such a great country and in such a beautiful state. Compared to how so many have it in other parts of the world where they truly suffer, living here is like winning one of life's lotteries. A gift given to me that I did nothing to earn or deserve.

You should be in the looney bin
:o
Are you on drugs?
Just kidding!! Well no…are you on meds?
You’re a good rapper though!! Kudos
I’ve smoked a few joints no offence meant negroid
-
Hahaha - brilliant - I did not expect that! ;D
Wasn't it Buddha that said something like 'the essence of all suffering is desire'..?
So being thankful for life's blessings is good for the soul (although I will admit that despite living in quite a nice countryside setting myself, I am gently envious of your scenery over there in Hawaii :))

I wouldn't necessarily say desire but it is expectations that is the opposite of gratitude. Not that all expectations are wrong or undesirable. You have certain expectations for your children, for your job performance, your standard of living. But the problem, well not really a problem, but with expectations, when you achieve them you are not really grateful because it's something you expect. I don't rejoice or "clasps my hands and shrieked with ecstasy!" as the poet Percy Shelley put it, whenever the light goes on when I turn the switch. Or when the chair doesn't crumble to the ground when I sit on it. I expect these things. The problem is that people today have unrealistic expectations about life in general. That there should be no down times, no bad times, and when it happens it's like "Why me, God? Why me?" They expect life to be smooth sailing without any bumps in the world. A girl I know just recently had her car smashed from the back and even though she survived without a scratch and has access to another car she's an emotional wreck. Keeps telling me "Why me? Of all the cars in the state he has to hit mine." Like she's something special and should be immune to it all.
So much of a person's life is determined at birth. Where you are born, your physical attributes, the status of your family. So many of the gifts you have in life were not really due just to you, yourself. You can say you worked hard, which may be true, but you have had opportunities that others have not. If you were born in Sudan it's not going to be that easy to get an education and a career. So just living in this country puts you head and shoulders above so many others.
That's why we have to protect it. Our way of life is threatened more than at any time since abolished slavery.

...a beautiful state. Compared to how so many have it in other parts of the world where they truly suffer, living here is like winning one of life's lotteries. A gift given to me that I did nothing to earn or deserve.
You may or may not have done anything to "earn or deserve" where you are in this life (and I very doubt that much,my friend), but...You are one of the few, the rare that are truly grateful for what you have.
That in and of itself shows that you are worthy of your life. In all ways and for always, be well.

2 things...
Pellius, you are Filipino right?
Also, do you have a TikTok account? If you don't, you should get one soon as I believe you can become famous if you were to do videos like this and even add some dancing into the mix. Just your affect throughout this video was interesting.

Part Filipino, my mom was from Ilo Ilo.
I think TikTok is evil. Besides, a 61-year-old man shouldn't be on a teen site.

Sometimes I revert back to my days in the hood (Inglewood, Ca.) running with my crew and my main nikka, Coke Evans (RIP), flexing hard against the man always trying to keep an Octoroon down.

Pellius has that Christopher Walken vibe going on, haha.

Great flick.^

Many people struggle with perspective.
Life is on different terms for people all across the planet.
What is normal to me is not normal to 99.99% of the planet.
Yes it is good to step back and look at the big picture.
Forget your expensive things and cherish the simple things in life.
Stop working your life away and be happy every single day.
As the Dalia Lama said many years ago when asked "what is the key to life", he relied "to be happy".
People (especially Americans) should be more grateful for what they have.
But we aren't, we are the spoiled brats of the Earth.
I changed my entire life 3 years ago and moved to the mountains.
I'm the happiest person you would ever meet.
Always positive. Never negative.
Every single day is like vacation to me.

Pellius listening to cookie cutter music

That was very cool. I often do the same thing except with Merle Haggard. ;D
-
Damn, even by yourself you never shut up...

How were you able to use the song when it's copyrighted? Every time I try to use a song it's silenced by youtube. On a side note it's good to see a getbigger enjoying life. Can go wrong with a Notorious rap.
