A child dies of malnutrition. A student can't finish his or her studies because of financial difficulties. Hundreds of families living on the street. A woman becomes a victim of domestic violence. An old man asking for food. A girl having a tough day because she's bullied. When a person can't see. A man barely walking because of his ample legs. A person not having anyone to turn to. When someone is having a tough time. When all theses happen, we may all think, "Some people have it a lot worse."
We usually complain about almost everything around us. I definitely think that it's a part of our nature to ask for more. But we seldom think or give thanks for the things that we have. There are a lot of things to be grateful for. From the moment you wake up until you sleep again. This very moment that you are still alive is a very great opportunity to say 'thank you.' Hug your mom and dad, your brothers and sisters. Laugh with your friends and avoid dramas. Be grateful because you have a house to live in, foods to eats, your body is complete and is healthy, you go to school and learn, and the list goes on.
Some people say life is unfair. But let's say that it's just a matter of contentment. Think of all the people who are experiencing things a lot worse than you do. We might not have everything that we want but try to look at the things and people that make you complete and happy. So, when we see people experiencing it a lot worse, whisper a little 'Thank You" to God.
