We all don't realize how lucky we are

Last I was in bed and couldn't get to sleep, I looked at my dog and realized something, I wished I could be her! All she does is eat, sleep, poop, and go for the occasional walk, she is very lucky to have that life! But at the same time, I realized she hated being a dog, she constantly must be bored, she constantly looks bored, I know that. She probably wishes she could be human like me, we get to do things and go places, just like how I wish I could be an animal. There is a balance in life, either your main concerns are human ideology, or in the case of many people in poverty, getting food and shelter. This applies to everything, human or not. Kids in Africa are starving, yet at the same time they will never feel the same amount of peer pressure or pressure to be intelligent or strong like we do, we are just the opposite. We don't worry about food like they do, many of us never will have to, we worry about peer pressure and other stupid things. I'm thankful for not starving to death, that would blow. But in a time of sadness, people enduring this stuff could definitely have a brighter day realizing what they are not putting up with instead of what they are, maybe that would just make them a little bit less depressed.
