We have become an entitlement society, thinking we are entitled to the biggest house, the best car, the nicest clothes, jewelry, furniture, vacations etc...
In this country there is so much excess and try as we might we cannot fill the holes in our hearts with things.
Gratitude is what we need to feel. In this season of thanksgiving, I pray that all will feel gratitude for what they have instead of bitterness for what they lack.
Good observations. The bitterness stems from envy and our society feeds and promotes envy as well as greed.
