Just a small musing here,
I feel we are really very blessed. We sit down inside an air-conditioned computer lab contemplating how to spend an imaginary $500 on anything we like, while people in South Africa and the developing countries sit down on the scorching sands, unsure whether they'll live to see the next day.
Whenever I put on my clothes, put a spoon of food into my mouth, enter a classroom for lesson, and even when I use the toilet, i would count my blessings. All these, and more, should not be taken for granted by us. I'm not being sarcastic here, but i even count my blessings when i look into my wallet and see that $1 left inside. Why is that so, you might ask. Well, I HAVE a wallet! Isn't that a blessing too? I am not being a sadist here. In fact, I have NO RIGHT to be one! The people struck with poverty still live their lives with as much courage and optimism as they can ever muster up. It is something really admirable.
Dear Esteemed Readers, please think about all that you have received and been through, I'm quite certain that many of them were blessings in disguise.
ITS ME .
