Dear Posters:
I do read every post on every thread if I intend to comment. My first observation is that many posters paint with a broad brush. What i mean by this is some conclude because a resident complains about something that s/he is unhappy and would be unhappy anywhere. But the other side of that coin is the complaint may be justified., is a temporary distraction and certainly isn't an indicator that this person is unhappy at least to the extent indicated by some posters
My second observation has to do with the Thoreau. I do understand the meaning of his statement but paradise (heavenly place) is a subjective concept and to me it means eternal life, no disease, no pain, no discomfort........................Such a place cannot be found on earth and hence you can't fault fault finders for finding fault that;s the human reality.
In my view some posters are judging people and not what people are complaining about. Some folks do crowds well my wife is one of them. I don't because I promised myself that once I left the military no more lines
This same topic comes up time after time on this forum. Some view TV as paradise, some do not. Some of us are social and view TV from that perspective, some of us our more political and focus on government (Districts).....But i believe it is unfair to dismiss out of hand or define someone who complains as doing so just because they will never be satisfied because that is too broad a brush and at the time it is happening to you its personal ( that guy just pulled out in front of me).( that green is so tore up we might default to the automatic two putt rule and move on). Consider too, the other side of this issue perhaps those painting with this broad brush are too easily satisfied that's not always good thing either.
I am just trying to find balance here
