Why complain when you got everything you need to survive?
Have you ever witness people who are rich, who have wonderful families, who spends half of the their time doing the things that they like, complaining half of every day in their life? If you have not, then join me in any random restaurant and you will see one. But if you have, then let me ask you this, “When you listen to their complains, have you ever thought about those in need, those that were abonden by their parents, those who are too poor to even have a roof over their heads or even to buy cloths to cover their naked bodies?”
Think about it. In life, people all over the world made and still making complains, even on the small things such as complains about their loved ones which they are married to. But what about those people whom are living in a poor condition? I am sure they have more complains to make since people who have everything they need to survive are already making complains.
But none of them even bother to complain a single thing. They never complain about hor bably the world treated them. Even after receiving food that was half eaten or thrown away, all they did was thanking that they even have something to fill their hungry stomuch, even if it would only last for a day or night.
Here I am sitting at McDonalds, listening to one of the family member sitting next to my table, complaining about how slow her grandchildren are eating, the hot weather out side, and how poor the service are providing, on and on, none stop. If I make a list of all her complains, it would be more pages compare to what an orphan has to complain about.
Complain seems to be everybody’s habit now a days. Just think about this for a while. A person who complains about the food at a restaurant, than why don’t he just cook at home and bring it to work with him? A person who complains all day long about that long traffic jam that got him late for work, then why does he not leave from his house earlier? And if a person who does not like the way a government is working, then why don’t he be a governor? Why complain about something and not do anything? what is the point of complaining when your not facing the right person nor take any action? Is it consider as they are only complaining just to release stress or pressure? Is there such a thing? I call that blaming the world for something your not happy about.
Yet on the other hand, an orphan who was abonden by their parents would not complain about what the parents did or did not do. But would jump on the bed all night long just at the thought of some family want to take them home as their own child, or even at the thought of finding their birth parents. How often do you see a begger complaining about how the world treated them in violence? You cant even reach more than 5% of the world’s population.
People who suffered the meannest of the world are much more better than those that have something or everything that they could ever need. Even though they had to go through poverty to finding food out of the trash can, at lease they do not complain about it. They see rich people walking infront of them, giving them the cold hard stare just becouse they are dirty and they smelled, yet they still have higher hope for the next days to come. They would only see and count good things that happen to them, even if it means finding food next to a rat hole, they would be thankful. And we should too. We who could eat at a restaurant, watch a movie, go to work or school, we should learn from them and be thankful that we have what we need to survive in this world.
