Take 2
seconds to think how fortunate you are to be reading this.
There are
many people out there who does not even own a laptop, or rather, there is no
internet.
We are just
taking things for granted because we had all of these when we were born. No
hardships.
Just had a
minor thought about blogging this because I had a short conversation with
Sherrie about doing volunteer work together with the school with the craft and
tech department.
Thinking of
doing all this and I do not get anything in return, just made me felt like not
doing it at all. It made me felt like why should I do it since there is no
return?
How
disgusting the condition will there be. How much I have to endure when I am
there seeing those people. How am I going to survive without internet and
sometimes even electricity or maybe even basic edible food?

The thought
of it, made me felt alittle sick.
Just ask
yourselves, if you are going to live in a place where there is no electricity
and no anything. Will you even exchange for the things you have here now? I bet
the answer is no.
After a
little thought about it. I realised what we gain is actually not able to be
purchased, the sympathy, the understanding of simple happiness, the generosity.
They might
not be as rich as us. They might not be as educated as us. They might not have
the most trending clothing item. They might not even own a pair of proper
shoes. They might not get as much as us. They might not have a proper shelter.
But all I
can say is, they are truly happy. With true happiness. They live a simple live,
a little food, but they all share, just because having it all alone is wrong
and not right.
Once read a
story about the families over there, they just live as they could, raising their
children as much as they can and try to save to send them to a school at least
to be able to communicate.
I can say we
are really fortunate to be able to study. I believe the children there really
wanted the chance to and really wished they could study.
It really
inspire me a lot to love life. At least I do not have to worry about shortage
of food, shortage of water, unstable shelter and electricity.
How much
more do you want to ask for? You have all the things you needed. The rest are
all wants.
I want a new
shoe, I want that dress, I want to buy PS4, I want this I want that. Did you
realise how many wants do you have and your parents are trying to fulfill them?
I believe that all parents just want the best out of their children. I believe
they are still the ones that truly cares for you.
In the Chinese
sayings, " You are the worst enemy of you parent's last life." It
meant that the next time you become a mother/father yourself, you will meet
your " enemy " of last life that is going to make you feel.
Just
appreciate what you have.
I cherish
the fact that I have a complete family. There are people out there with broken
families. I do not know how they felt but, it just kind of hurt to see them
being upset all over it but I cannot feel it.
I cherish
the fact that I get most of the things I want. I get nice pair of shoes, I get
a lot of stuffs. You guys do not know, and I am apparently too lazy to type so
many out. But you will realise how much my parents dote me into getting almost
all the stuffs I want. And I just feel really grateful for the support they are
giving me.
Back to the
topic.
What have
you taken for granted of lately?
What you do
you need and want?
Do you
appreciate what you have?
Ask
yourself.
