Value

For a lot of us, when we were kids, everything was handed to us in a silver platter. We never really understood how tough it is to EARN something.

Hello all, The Earthian here.

We take things for granted, things that supposedly seem mandatory for us. We think people (mostly parents) are obligated to get us things. Well the reality is, no one will ever think you deserve something until you prove yourself to yourself and hence, them. You need to prove to people time and again just to earn a little perspective.

When I was a kid, my parents often told me that I was lucky. Just lucky. I didn't quite understand what they meant and hence I constantly disagreed with them. They asked me to be thankful for every meal I had, for the ease with which I could buy brand new clothes everytime I wanted to, for anything, that most of us failed to appreciate and take for granted.
Just understand that it's only when you realize something's value, you will be able to appreciate it. It's only when you appreciate it, you'll be able to get satisfied. It's only when you get satisfied, you will be able to feel happiness.

This not only applies to the materialistic things in this world. You see, life in itself is a huge gift we fail to appreciate. No one knows how we got it. Animals and plants don't really know what life is. Only us, humans do. Start appreciating life, just for what it is.

Will talk more, peace.
