I agree that perspective and attitude change everything.
But may I ask how you view something like taxes? And here, could you put yourself in my place as an American? The IRS makes us pay taxes which funds wars, and all manner of corruption within the government. I have a problem dealing with this, as I can't get away with not paying taxes unless I want to be an activist and go to jail, and on the other hand I help to fund things I don't like (to understate the matter), such as the military. I'm not talking about adding what I like into how I spend my energy and money, but in just dealing with this situation where I find myself between a rock and a hard place. What I do is just comply as minimally as possible, but that seems so weak and lame.
I could move to another country, but I am pretty sure no matter where I go there will be something like this to deal with.
