Unhappiness is our dissatisfaction at a particular situation. On the other hand, an advantage granted to a few is what we call privilege. And, unhappiness is an incredible privilege even if it isn’t obvious to us at first.
If we spend time being unhappy, it can feel as if we have no choice. But, of course, that would only happen if we did have a choice.
Being conscious of this privilege is important because small bouts of dissatisfaction are necessary for progress. It is dissatisfied human beings who’ve made progress possible. But, that assumes this dissatisfaction is temporary and directed at things we control. The moment it isn’t, we inevitably spiral into unhappiness territory. And, that’s largely useless.
So, there are two things to remember the next time you find yourself unhappy. First, it is an opportunity to make things better – to improve the situation or to improve yourself.
Second, it is a privilege. So, it calls for gratitude, not unhappiness.

This could be a Pandora’s box of a post. “Privilege” is quite pervasive in our society right now. Thanks for the timely post!
Glad Marvin. :)
