One man's luxury is another man's miracle
Monday, October 24, 2011

My first home visit today. Tagged along with one of the social worker. Quite simple for starters, much like what we do in Counseling module, just that it no longer is a mock case. It calls for real time tact, responsibility and a whole set of problems that diversifies reality.

Similarly, it's also saddening to see the struggles of Singaporeans hidden behind the acclamations of a prosperity. There the marginalized struggle to make ends meet. Just bought a new iPhone for $550+ bucks? That's equivalent to the arrears they're trying to pay off, before the the 31th day adds another load on their 4 digits bank accounts. What we can afford for luxury is a miracle enough to pay off the debt of another, which only brings takes them out enough of deficit.

Cherish your things. Many of us are blessed to live comfortably, and sometimes with extra bonuses. But in your comfort, don't forget the needy, the poor and the homeless out there. They exists in great numbers, just merely unknown, and unseen to the selfish eyes.

Be thankful you are blessed, go bless someone else too.
