I am blessed... truly blessed! How many of us actually say that? unless something new has happened! We moan over small and silly things but have we ever thanked enough for the countless blessings we have?
From around the time i could recall my thoughts... i have been keen in watching the lives around me, the people i see,their behaviors, the way they talk... and i have not come across anyone who have been truly thankful for all the blessings without any complaint! i have come across people who cry over their shopping mishaps like bad color choice,bad negotiation, poor research... people who are jealous of their friends having a bigger house, much expensive car, or even whose kids have scored better in the exams! Its not about being jealous its about moaning over those silly things... Why cant we, the most intelligent primates, literates...open our eyes and look around and see the world, the real world... the poverty, the distress in families, the crimes against innocent people,kids... the riots... the hurricanes and flood... how can we moan over having a bad hair cut when lil babies die in Palestine? how can we want more variety of food when kids die of malnutrition in somalia? ok what abt in india? how can we want more collections of clothes when there are school kids who cant buy their school uniforms? How can we not be satisfied with our salary when we see many who lost everything in the flood?
Yes... we are humans... and its only human to forget what we read, what we see and hear... but a part of us are purposefully forgetting it! everything that's bad... so that we could just move on... and live our life carefree... and yes we have to move on...we have to do that... but why cry over things we don't have and instead count our blessings? that's what puzzles me! at some point everyone have done this... even the ones who talk about it... even me... i realized this when i was actually sad over something i didn't have... all these pictures came to my mind like an omen! all i could think was 'what an $%#% i am!'
Lets count our blessings for a moment,just for fun... and be happy and content for a while before a new desire creeps into our heart and we cry over not having it! Lets be happy for the lovely world we live in, for the beautiful mornings,every radiant sunset, for the colorful rainbows, for the misty falls,the blooming flowers,the soothing rain, for the fluttering butterflies and every small wonders of nature!
Let us keep smiling for we are blessed in one way or the other!
