Lets all appreciate our lives

First and foremost, I would like to apologise to those who find this offensive. I have been feeling down for the past few hours due to some personal problems. As I was sitting down and thinking about my life, I began to realise how lucky we are, We have shelter to seek comfort in, food to eat whenever we want and families and friends to turn to in need of times, however have we ever for once tought about these people who come from poverty stricken and poor countries, while most of us have fashionable lives and all, these people literally live from hand to mouth. Its very sad for a matter of fact because while we all live in minimum of 4 room flats, these people have got to squeeze their entire family in to that uncomfortable squatter. When i see this sort of people I badly want to help,but can I?
Have we ever for once thought that as kids we will have to beg and all?No!!and that is because we have our parents to support us and to make sure we have the correct upbringing, look at the kid in the above picture, barely 5 years old and is already made to beg with his baby brother cuddled under a dirty blanket, it sad to realise that there are parents out there who makes their child beg.I for once really am appreciating my life because, no matter the amount of pain my mum has gone through as a single parent she has never for once made me feel that way, she has always provided me with the necessary needs in life so that i can prosper,she is living her life for me and it is definitely right for me to do the same for her. So to all you youngsters out there, a piece of advice, treasure what you have in life, consider ourselves lucky that we don't live in situations like those in the pictures above and the most important thing of all, treasure your parents who brought you into thie world.

I am definitely feeling much better now, even though my problem is not relevant to what i blogged about, I definitely feel better.
