I have got lots to be thankful for... A loving supportive familyy.. good friends.. excellent health.. food on my table.. and most importantly a roof over my head!! Yess... I have lots to be thankful for... Shukar Alhamdulillah!!! But the sadist part is not everyone can say that... There are some people, in fact many billions of others who don't even have shelter or a source to nourish their appetite or even a piece of cloth to cover themselves....
Doesn't the irony hit you hard??? While these children are searching for scraps of food... someone is angry on late pizza delivery, while these children are sitting on piles of garbage to find something useful for their survival... somewhere someone is not satisfied and thankful even sitting in an air-conditioned office, while these children are enduring the hardships of life... someone is diminishing his wealth in partying and clubbing!!!
My heart literally sank on these terrible situations of the endurers.... Why there is such an inequality..?? Is this the game of life..?? These heart-wrenching scenes are not just an other picture... these are the actual lives behind these photos...!!! This rawness of the situation is real... Their need.. emptiness.. hardships.. endurance.. sufferings are all real... They really struggle to survive, not knowing any better..!!
Everything is acutely put into perspective when you realize the level of poverty present in this world and what true suffering really is... Hopefully you feel lot more grateful for the things you actually have..!! Hopefully you will be less disobedient towards Almighty after realizing all the blessings He has shower upon you..!!
As far as this extreme poverty is concerned... These people are looking right at us, so why don't we all open our hearts and minds a little more... give a little more and care alott more...!!!
May Almighty bless them with His countless blessings and make the path of life easier for them... Ameen...!!
