No Need For Negative Attitude

After reading chapter 3, I was deciding on what topic I could choose my blog. I was looking through the book to see what lines I could use. I then came upon a quotation which caught my eye. This part of the chapter really interested me because of the hobo's attitude.“I’ve been hungrier than this, the hobo told Billy. I been in worse places than this. This ain’t so bad.” (Slaughterhouse-Five, PDF File) The hobo told Billy this right before he died. This attitude really shocked me because it made me start thinking about how negative I sometimes am. I many times get in a bad mood because I have a lot of homework, or because I have a test, or because I have to study, and many more. When I read this part of the chapter, it made me feel silly. How can I be complaining about things that are not a big deal, while a hobo who is about to die because of hunger still has a positive attitude? It really made me feel guilty about the attitude that I live my life with. Instead of being grateful about all of the things that I have in my life, I tend to look at the negative parts. I've began to think about how greedy we really are. The majority of the world struggles to pay for food and shelter, but they still have a positive attitude about their lives. Then comes me, who complains about absolutely everything, when there is absolutely no need to. I feel guilty.
