~let's be grateful for the good

Be greatful, for what you have ; not because the others can't have it.

Be greatful, for you get food on your plate whenever you are hungry; not because others are starving to death.

Be grateful for having a shelter above your head; not because others sleep drenched wet in the rain by a footpath.

Be grateful for the things you can afford, not because others can't even have the bare minimum.

We often tend to tell our loved to be greatful for leading such luxurious lives and we console them by saying that many people around us are still struggling to survive. But, how can we be comforted by knowing that someone out there is suffering? It's disturbing how people tend to achieve a sense of relief by looking down upon those who are in need.
