GRATITUDE- DO YOU HAVE IT?

If there is one thing we all suffer from it's ingratitude. If you had to live w/out one of the following, which would you prefer?
*electricity
*heating/air conditioning
*refrigeration
*plumbing

Don't pick electricity, I mean what would work? You couldn't use your T.V., radio, blow dryer, electric blanket, etc.
Good you didn't pick heating/air conditioning . You'd freeze/burn to death when the weather's rough.
What about refrigeration? Would you have to buy new food everyday cuz yesterday's was spoiled?
Thank Heavens for plumbing! If you didn't have it imagine going to a stinky old outhouse everyday! AHH!

The point is some people don't have any of these, and they're just as happy or happier. So why do we complain all the time? Just be glad for what you get, and I bet you'll be quite content.
