Sometimes when I look around, I can feel how blessed I am!
There are people who cannot see; I can enjoy the sparkling city lights from my window!
There are people who cannot hear; I can choose what music to play on my way to work!
There are people who cannot walk; I can dance my heart out!
There are people who have to walk miles and miles for water to drink; I can sing in the shower for hours!
There are people who die of hunger; I can choose between Thai, Italian, Mexican, Indian, and Chinese for every meal!
There are women who are abused, beaten, raped and humiliated every day; I have been brought up like a dew-drop on the palm by my parents!
There are kids who cannot go to school because they have to work to survive; I can choose which laptop I want to buy next!
What have I done to get all this?
What have I done to be so lucky?
Nothing!
And after all that, if I ask for even more to be happy, wouldn’t that be ungrateful, greedy and selfish?
It’s like being a King of the whole world and still asking for one more acre of land in order to be happy!
Whom do I thank for all I have got?
How often do I actually thank him?
Do I even thank him???
Is just thanking him for all these favors enough?
May be not!
Of course its not!
I just cannot be taking all these things for granted and not wonder why I have been given those!?
I need to repay it all back! I need to find a way to return all these favors.
But how do I do that?
Maybe it can only be done by doing good!
Being good!
Helping those who need me!
Maybe the “Good” has been sent my way, not to be owned by me; but to be spread around!
Maybe I am just a medium to spread the good that has been sent to me!
So.. here is the whole scenario as I look at it!
What was I supposed to do, and what am I actually doing???
I am asking for more for myself , when I am actually supposed to use what have been given to put smile on someone’s face!
What the hell am I doing?
Am I crazy?
How could I be so selfish???
