I often times encounter problems and dilemmas in life, and at some point in time I feel really bad, depressed and down. I blame myself, and even other people around me who are innocent. I can’t help thinking why bad things happen in life. I know that the Earth is not a Utopia, and we are really bound to experience the ups and downs of life. But problems come time after time, non-stop.

Although recently, I came to realize how life is still full of blessings and good things. If I think about it, I’m still blessed to have a family, to be able to eat three times a day, to be able to use the computer and internet, to be able to visit different places with convenient transportations, to be able to hangout with friends, to be able to walk and move freely, to be able to sing in the shower, to be able to talk and communicate with amazing people, and just to live. We are underestimating all these things because we think it’s just “normal”. But thousands of people don’t have these. Thousands of people have no family, have no food to eat, have no friends, have no money, have no freedom, have no legs, have no voice, and have no “life”.

So think about it. All the problems we’re encountering right now, they are nothing compared to those who are really suffering from something that they didn’t sign up for. Let’s stop complaining about petty things and start appreciating. Because I personally and strongly believe that this life is not bad… not bad at all.
