- "God, why do I..?" -

I kept on asking God why do I have small monolid eyes,
until I saw a blind little girl..
Then I thanked God for my small eyes..

I kept on asking God why do I have a flat nose,
until I saw a man with a big tumor in his nose..
Then I thanked God for my flat nose..

I kept on asking God why do I mostly have to go to campus by public transportation,
until I saw a woman who had to walk for miles carrying her children with bare feet..
Then I thanked God for those public transportation..

I kept on asking God why do I have a short body,
until I saw a child with no arms and legs..
Then I thanked God for my short body..

I kept on asking God why can't I travel all around the world just like what my friends did,
until I saw a poor old man who had never traveled further than his own town in his life..
Then I thanked God for my condition..

I kept on asking God why do I have to work quite hard even before I graduate from university just to fulfill my own daily needs,
until I saw hundreds of jobless people applying for jobs everyday
and being rejected..
Then I thanked God for my job..

Through the people around me, God has taught me how to be grateful for all the way I am.. :')

Now I've learnt that jealousy won't change any of my own condition,
instead it will only make everything worse coz it will simply take the peace and happiness in my heart away..

Now I've learnt that there's no perfect life in this world,
everybody has their own problems, regrets and failures behind all their laughter..

Now I've learnt that by keeping grateful and counting my own blessings,
it will make my life even brighter and more delightful :)

because..
Jealousy is counting someone's else blessings
instead of your own.
