Appreciate things… Or choose not to
Wednesday, May 31st, 2006BE APPRECIATIVE, its something easy for us to tell everyone around us to do, but how many of us can actually get the real meaning of it and show it in our lives?? Not many, I am sure… its easier to be said than done.. just ask yourself, when is the last time you truely treasure things around you and feel contented with what you have??
I do believe human had that kind of nature, when we first landed our foot to this world, we are easier to please… for a baby, changing his diapers, feed some milk and some toys around will be able to make them happy… but as we grow up we started to ask for more, chasing for everything available, never contented with what we have, and worst of all craving to get what others have, no one seems to be able to settle down, when they get something the happiness never last long, maybe few seconds, few days…and then there is always another target, and there is another, human always wanted more, there is no stopping… until…erm, maybe there is no until..
Hmm.. until someone either got into trouble or go all the way straight to the coffin… however, I have to say this does not happen to everyone.. God always knew when to give us human some wake up call… just look at the recent earthquake in Jogjakarta, every single drop of water, every piece of food available, which human wasted like rubbish before this seems to turn into gold, and money,power seems making their way to the thrash as they seems useless…and thats the time where people realize how lucky they are to just survive…
Yes…the big word is LIFE… it is when people start realizing how lucky there are to be able to continue living… to be on the edge of being dead and yet still be alive, make us appreciate our lives and realize how lucky we are to be just alive…so all i want to say here is, appreciate your life, and everything, everyone around you, they might be gone anytime, just make sure you never regret…
p.s. this is dedicated to victims of earthquakes and everyone suffering at all corner of the world, hope everything will be allright soon…
PEACE
