Appreciate

Found on Weheartit

People say they appreciate what's been given to them. They say, I appreciate everything in life and whatsoever. But how far do they really appreciate? Do they just say it but not know the meaning of it or do they really really appreciate things.

I was sitting alone on the couch staring blankly into the computer screen. I read my timeline about Kim Kardashian's divorce and how much money she had gone to waste for her oh-so grand fairytale wedding in which only lasted for like 72 days. All those money. Billions and millions of US dollars. Those money that could actually be used to donate to the needy and the poor. Ever thought of that?

I remember what my mum used to tell me when I was younger when I was stubborn to eat or when I didn't finish my food. "There are other people in the world that don't get to eat the food you eat" Its true you know what she said. Now when I eat, I'd think twice about finishing my meal. I'd be all, should I finish this though I could almost puke or should I throw it away, but wait, the food that I'm throwing away are food other people are dying to get. Literally DYING to even get a strain of rice. 

Imagine you guys going online, the internet service you get, the computer you're using, ever imagined that others don't get this privilege? The bed you sleep in at night, the tv you watch for entertainments, the playstation and whatever gadgets you get. Ever thought that other people don't even know any thing about it! Doesn't it sound sad to know how others live that way? The school, universities, tutions, colleges and other classes your parents send you to. Yeahh the one that you purposely not attend 'cause you don't like the teacher or whatever. Other people in the world would love to learn, while us? The ones that are blessed to get education, purposely not attend them. 

Imagine yourself getting license, getting a car. You wanted an Ford Fiesta, but your parents gave you a Myvi, you complain, put on a fit. Atleast you own a car! Others? They couldn't afford it. Be thankful that your parents actually gave you a car to drive around in.  Your parents? You neglect them, ignore them, annoy them, hurt them. Some children in the world would die to actually own parents. Us? Sometimes never even appreciate them. How bout health? You're so blessed with good health. Even with a few sickness here and there yet still, you are still able to live don't you? Others? People are dying due to bad health. We with good health sometimes don't appreciate that and choose a way to hurt ourselves. Smoking, doing drugs. Aren't those things only hurting you?

I'm not saying I'm good and I do forget the greatest things in life too. Sometimes I don't appreciate what I got. But what I'm writing here is just an opinion and my thoughts about what's going on in the world now. Its sad, I know. But I guess that's just life, not everything we want we get. And always remember there are always other people less fortunate than us. Be thankful and appreciate what we have now. :)
