The problem is people take everything at face value, lack gratitude, and are satisfied to the point where they aren't aware of what "lack" is.
People come here from other countries and see the hope and value, and kill it. Meanwhile, there are a lot of American-born victim-mentality poor-little-me type people everywhere with their hand held out like they're owed something.
Living here, at times, it's hard to keep perspective. But that's nothing compared to the hardships that many other people have to endure.
On the other hand, there are many wonderful, generous, and grateful people here as well.
Please disambiguate the grammar on this bold statement. Did you mean that those people kill the hope and value, or "kill it" in achieving so much success?
Thanks for catching that. I meant to convey success. Or at least, gratitude for what they have - material, opportunity, or otherwise.
