I'm one of those, I'll admited... yes, and rightly so for many reasons...now comes the question that I make myself everyday.....am I better off here? YES I'M!
well,what can I say....this is in NO way unique for Chile...here in Norway,where we have one of the highest standars of living in the WORLD...NO ONE can complain and sulk as much as we do!!!:)....everything is horrible and everything is bad:)...I guess it's just human-nature to want things better all the time but,I am luckily one of those who find pleasure in the small things:)..as long as I have a roof over my head,a bed to sleep in and food on my table...the rest is details:).....and I agree,as annoying as it might be to hear people complain all the time about how misereable life in their country is,it is also a side-effect of freedom of speach and just how it should be!:)....I cherish the fact that people can speak their mind and air their frustrations:)
