For the boy who always told me how amazing life is - I understand now.
The world doesn't know what it has.
People don't realize what they have. They don't sit back and
think, Wow. It's amazing, what I've been graced with. Instead, they see what they could have, but don't. The world is ungrateful.
People don't think, Man, I've got a roof over my head and food in my stomach. They think, I wish I had a big screen TV and oh, a 3D BlueRay player would be nice.
People don't look at the sky when the sun is gloriously shining and realize how beautiful life is. They don't smile at the way the light reflects off the water just so.
People don't smile, knowing someone loves them. They remember the people who don't and those they wish did. They don't sit down with a cup of tea and think, I am so lucky as they recall how their dad used to sit down just the same way, with them in his lap. The world doesn't know how it's loved.
The world doesn't know what it has.
Be grateful.
