Some may say I have no right to accuse the idea of complaining of these small degree issues. This is true; I would be lying if I were to claim that I don't understand the practice of this laziness and have not personally gone through it. However, is it not a blessing that we are "cursed" with these problems in the first place?
These issues do not majorly affect our physical, emotional, or mental state. It is a gift that we possess a television, or have food available, or even have socks! The level of suffering is set on such low standards of "wants" but not on "needs". There is a lack of consideration for the world outside of our own personal environment. Yes, it is so difficult to think of a poor person after every lazy moment that occurs. That is a very exaggerated point. Rather, being aware of the availability of resources we are given.

Hi Jeana! You bring up a very good point. People who live in the developed world are too busy complaining about the smallest things to realize how much they actually have. But in addition to the I-can't-find-the-other-sock catastrophe, let's not forget the my-sock-slid-off-my-foot-into-the-deep-depths-of-my-shoe catastrophe!
