Life Or Something Like It

Yesterday on my way to the office i saw a beggar on crutches. He tapped on my window and asked politely if i could give him somethin to eat. I was so crushed seeing him in his condition (I think he's about 50ish but looks older)... he's gesturing for some food. I don't encourage giving money, so I gave him the pack of "Lays" which my bebe and I left in the car. He again requested if I have some left-over rice {but unfortunately I left my "baon") because he'll be giving the "Lays" to his "Apo" (grandchildren)... I felt so bad coz I couldn't give him any as he mentioned that he hasn't yet eaten since the night before... he gave all their food to his "Apo"... In this case, I gave some money and told him to please buy something to eat. My conscience took over and thought later, how could the parents... well....

haaaaaay....

there are times that we complain about life...
on how unfair life can be...
on why things are like this and like that...
being envious to others...
and stuff like that...

yesterday was like a slap in the nape for me...
a wake up call you might say...
that I... (or should I say we) should be thankful... always...
On what's given to us...
On what we have...

They say life is unfair... maybe it is... but then again maybe not...
I believe it is not...
It is us who make it unfair...
If we just strive to be better... and do the best in what we do...
... maybe then, we won't feel that life is against us.

...two words...
*Be grateful*
