See one thing I have learnt in life is at any given point there are going to be people better off than you and people worse of than you. Same goes with countries. Our best bet is to be happy with what we have and consider ourselves more fortunate than others. Gas is still cheaper in Canada than in India and way more cheaper in Canada than in India if you bring purchasing power into picture. For me I am still happy at Gas being at about 1 $ a litre. The Indian rupee has depreciated far more than Canadian $. Yet do you really see common man in India getting worried about these things?

The best solution is to stop comparing. If at all you want to compare, compare yourself to people who are worse off than you are.

I already feel better. May be it was the cup of coffee. (I am back) may be it is your philosophical outlook and the way you posted it to me here.

Any time when some one plants a kiss on my cheeks and gives me a lollipop, I glow with a big smile. It makes me feel even better.

Mmmmm... I like the alternate solution a lot uplifting. I could not have said it better.

Next time you are going for a long walk, give me a buzz. I will tag along and we will not feel the strain and I will try and keep up with your pace.

Thanks pardner.
