I was taken aback when i seen and read in the news about the problems the world faced everyday.It makes me realised that it would be a wrong perspective of mine to believe that my problems are paramount and that the problems of others are too simple to be solved.It is the nature of many people to have this perspective.But...frankly speaking,we should stop having that mindset.
If you think that you are the only one feeling stressed about your problems,think again.Compare your problems to that faced by other people over on the other end of the world.While you are contemplating on what dress to wear,what food to eat today or even how to impress another girl you had a crush on,others are facing war,food shortages and the constant threat to their lives.Now let me ask you a question...At the end of the day,are our problems that significant?
I recently met one of my old friends last week.He looked so happy with a smile beaming from his face.I was wondering so as to what is he so happy about.He told me that after seeing what other people went through in life,it makes him realised that his life is actually more blessed afterall.
