Conversations

[With a friend, at our usual coffee place]

"Why do we always want to be somewhere else that is not here?"
"We think that the grass is greener on the other side."
"I read from Horace that no one is quite happy with the life he has chosen or stumbled upon."
"But if you really think about it, life is okay here in Canada. You're safe. You have food, water and shelter. You should be happy."
"That's true."
"I realized that you can control your thoughts. Whenever you think you would be happier elsewhere, try to rephrase your thoughts. Think more positively."
