We all need a shift in perspective from time to time,
The world is selfish because humans are flawed,
And because of that,
we often take even the simplest of pleasures for granted.
When is enough truly enough?

When you complained that the food is not tasty enough ,
Remember there are kids begging for leftover just to stay alive.

When you complained the sun is too hot,
Remember there are people who can't afford clothes to keep them warm.

When you complained the job is hard,
Remember there are people who sacrified their life for the job.

When everything turns out wrong for you in life,
Remember that you are still alive.

You might not be able to change the world's perspectiveΒ Β at a day.
But we might be able to do that one person at a time.

It all starts from you.
