Appreciation

This day has turned to be just GREAT... Shockingly, this day turned out to be one of those "perfect" days... It was B-E-Autiful... Had a fantastic shool day, came home, watched a movie or two, went for a jovial walk on this jolly ole day... On top of that, the weather is just heavenly(compared to past years)...

I stared upon the luminous stars which lie beyond the vast grasp of the sky looked as if they were floating so harmoniously within the corral of the clouds... Just seeking attention... Waiting for someone to stare mesmerized as I did... Patiently awaiting a crowd of spectators... Awaiting the eager audience... However, just like people, feeble mortals, these stars do not always attain the desires, cravings or sometimes even deservings... Well, as we all know by now... life is not fair most of the time(Doesn't take a genius to figure that out)...

However, this bias...this foul injustice can't be used as a sorry and pathetic excuse of failing in life... Failing to achieve one's goal... That does not qualify as an excuse for failing to try again... Life is not always fair... On the other hand, this crooked fact helps us to realize that we, as humans, often take things for granted... It is mostly human nature to accept a certain prestige for granted... But, do we truly appreciate the fact that we are nourished with clean water and edible food? Some of the largest countries(India, Africa, Pakistan...) are living in misery and desperation while we("civilized" countries) drink our clean water and eat our delish meals without sincerely appreciating it... Those steaks and wines going down those throats seem to be more than a mere dream to the unfortunate people of the second world countries... Even broccoli might appear to be a savored delicacy there...People of this generation are unaware of the importance and significance of clean water and good...GREAT food... These two basic elements could mean the survival of one more child in Africa or India... Aren't they worthy of life just like the rest of us?

Yes... Most people who read this might say..."Not wasting food on my plate does not mean extra food in the bare hands of others"...Yes, thats true... However, it is the principle...the thought, the appreciation of life itself that undoubtedly counts...
