Makes me realise just how lucky a country we are while we all go on complaining about how tough it is making ends meet in Australia. When imagine how we would be effected by what has happened in Aceh now and in the Tsunami do we as Australians really understand hardship.

I think not! one day we may be faced with what Aceh and other countries have faced and I really fear that we may not comport ourselves with the dignity and Resilience displayed by the Aceh people or the people in Japan after the Tsunami and associated troubles if we complain without really knowing how good we actually have it.

Travel to other parts of the world is a great eyeopener if you have the means but even if you don't these days we can travel virtually and still get the idea how good we have it and how little we really have to complain about but some are not satisfied and have to find something to gripe about I just find it is too easy for people to fall into the trap of saying I am one of the worse off in Australia instead of saying I am one of the better off people of the WORLD.

Sorry for the Rant just had to get it off my chest.
