appreciation



Because there is no guarantee that this life easy.
God didn't gave us a certificate or warranty that our life will be like heaven.
If our life is like heaven,
what is earth for?

Earth is for people like us.
A living thing, human being, a self moving entity, an organism, a man, a women, a creature, a flesh of movement, a substance that think, an aggregate of soil which emotes feeling,

There are the things that exist in earth.
We are brought down to earth to make mistakes.
To correct our mistakes.
To face shame.
To face discrimination.
To struggle.
To suffer.
To be in misery.
To be in sorrow.
To face torture.
To be drenched in unhappiness.
To be burnt in anguish.
To be mad.
To be calm.
To over come obstacle.
To feel pain.
To cry.
To smile.
To feel hurt.
To heal.
To recover.
To be in peace.
To be happy.
To elate with joy.
To love.
To be loved.
To think.
To feel.


Last but not least,
To Live.

This is what define us Human.
A definition of this living existence on earth.

Our believed abstraction a of life portrays heaven.
A life of luxury.
A life of good spirit.

When those substance don't appear in our eyes,
our life is like a piece of canvas on the floor showered in black paint.
All we see are our hands and legs cuffed in pain,
wearing a coat of misery
with our forehead labeling
'LIFE SUCKS!'

We all are walking through that path.
We all have walk through that path.

We journey to the river and mourn,
not being able to witness what we want.

STOP.

Look into the river.
What do you see?
Do you see your reflection?
Do you see yourself?

Look at yourself thoroughly.
Look at each and every tiny little detail.

Your face!
They are beautifully carved with
a pair of eyes.
nose.
mouth.
and ears.

Don't just stop there.
Step onto another level


Question yourself.
Do I have what I need?
Do I have shelter that protects me from danger?
Do I have nourishing substance that allow me to eat and drink?
Do I have a family?
Do I have a friend?
Do I have love?
What else do I need?

We already have the goods that we need.
Treasure them.
Reminisce on those beautiful moments
that plastered a smile you you face
and filled you heart with alleviation.

Walk through them.
Feel through them.
Breath through them.
