Is it normal to constantly think in terms of balance of problems ? I know that others do not have perfect lives but some just seem to have less troubles than I do. Then I think that's unfair. Why me ?
My life has improved much, and it is ridiculous to expect it to be perfect BUT from time to time (when I am tried) I wallow, I compare myself, my life with that of others and I always feel like I have more to weather than others.
I think in terms of no kids vs 3 kids vs 1 kid vs parents with smart kids vs kids who have to work so hard vs the busy parent vs SAHM vs the single (happy go lucky), the well traveled vs luck vs luckless.. etc etc etc..
There' s a saying that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, but why do we have to have more than others at all. Isn't some enough ? Why do some seem to have none at all ?
I read somewhere too, that we experience problems because God wants to see or test our reactions to it rather than the solution of it. So does it add to our credit line somewhere or reduce our debt on some conscience balance sheet for a place in heaven ?
It seems that we all don't begin with the same starting balance.
The mulling lasts a little while and then I thank God because there is more goodness to be grateful for than what went before. We all have different strengths to handle life differently, I suppose that is why.
There's a reason for all things that happen to us, I believe that strongly and yet ..........
