I Want It That Way

I have always loved the Backstreet Boys and always will. But as I am listening to their song, I Want It That Way, it makes me think about everything people want in life. They want a nice house, well-behaved children, and a well paying job. But what does all of that give you? Satisfaction? I don't understand why people have to live in a rich, fansy house to be able to consider them to have a "good life". My life has been rocky, but I still consider it good! My family and I have been through a lot, but that just makes us stronger. I know I have a better bond with my mother and my sister than most people have with their family members. It makes me feel great knowing that no matter what happens to my family, we will still be close no matter what. I love them, and I know I don't tell them enough. So Mom, I know you're reading this and probably crying. Just wanted to say I love you. (:

Anger

What causes anger? Is it want? Need? What I don't get is why some people are angrier than others. Is it because they are jealous? I can understand why some people get angry (things don't go their way; they lost something). But what is the point of getting angry over something as little as how well your food was cooked? Or what color someone's skin is? The first question is usually forgotten about with the matter of days, so why get upset? A reason can be someone's nature. They get angry because that's all they know. Or they get angry because that's all they can be. Things have gone so wrong, so horribly wrong, that all they know is pain. I understand if that is why you're angry. But don't be angry at me, be angry at something that's worth it. And turn that anger into motivation. If it angers you THAT much, change it. Motivate yourself to change what angers you. Then maybe you won't be so angry any more.
