I was thinking, during geography early this morning, what if there were only a hundred people in the world. The video we watched reminded me about guides' own. When the number of people in the world is reduced to a hundred, the statistics seemed to be higher. In geography lesson today, the video was about young children starving, living in poverty. What if you were born, only just to live in poverty? What if you were born, just to constantly hunt for food? What if you were born, in a poverty-stricken country? What if you were born, just to know you won't survive long. Cause you're poverty-stricken.

I've never really thought about the other side of the world. I don't seem to be thankful for all the things that i have, and things that i don't. I'm always wanting to have something just because it's nice. Well, it's just me. I shouldn't be a selfish person anymore.

I've decided. Everytime i do something, i'll think of others who are not as lucky as me.

I should be grateful that i have enough food to eat.
I should be grateful that i won't have to worry about going hungry.
I should be grateful that i don't live in a place with food epidemic everywhere.
I should be grateful that i'm literate.
I should be grateful that i'm educated.
I should be grateful that i'm able to go to school.
I should be grateful that i have some form of entertainment.
I should be grateful that i have clean water to drink.
I should be grateful that i have a proper sanitation.
I should be grateful that i have clean water to use.
I should be grateful for having air conditioning.
I should be grateful for having a proper place to sleep.
I should be grateful for having enough money everyday.
I should be grateful for having a proper roof over my head.
I should be grateful for being a normal human being.
I should be grateful for being born without deformities.
I should be grateful for living everyday, knowing nothing will happen to me.
I should be grateful for having this life, and knowing that i'm lucky enough to be me.

You should think about it too.
How grateful are you?

Au Revoir.
