Have you seen it all?
Thursday, June 23, 2011
Have you seen their needs? The nights they starve, the jobs they juggle, the bruises they endure. Don't assume all is fine with everyone.Sometimes, even when we accept the struggles of life as part of life, there is that tendency to become complacent again. Ok, everybody is struggling, so what? But we fail to realize that to each of us comes our personal depth of difficulties, and some may possess better coping skills, where others struggles.It is one to be relatively optimistic of things, yet at the same time, it is important not to neglect the possibility and extent of personal struggles. One may have it easy with minimum stress, another may cope relatively well, with occasional drops, yet just as poverty has infinite categories going lower than ever, to a man struggling to survive on $5 a day in SG, there are those who feed a family with less than US$1. Beneath every impossible struggles lies a greater impossibility. For as there are those starving on 1 day of food, too there are those at the verge of total starvation, with hours left in their breath. Those who don't have enough for and require part time jobs to upkeep the house finances, there are those live on a day by day basis to survive. Sometimes it isn't about how great your problem, the question is, to what extent does your problem goes. Some may be happy, we may be worse. We may be worse, some may be worser. There's always someone in a worser plight.So, dont take for granted the peace that is presented, nor the hardship that we face, for out there, someone with a greater need is fighting.Labels: thoughts

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,
spreading the love of God as how He first loved us
==============================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
