Yeap, life do throw us with tons & tons of lemons, but I guess it's all about how you look at things.

Sometimes I just get so sick of my life. And then I go muttering FML over and over again. But then again, if you see things in a different light, you'll realise how lucky and blessed you are. I watched documentaries of people losing their family members in disasters, in animal attacks and voluntary work in Cambodia to treat people with cleft lips (Operation Smiles). Those children have facial deformities, some weren't able to pronounce properly, some had difficulty eating, there's a child without a proper nose as well. But were they dejected? Did they find ways to kill themselves so that people will stop teasing and laughing at their deformity? Did they cry everyday and hope that one day they'll wake up with proper lips and proper facial features? No they didn't. They were so determined to fix their problems they queued for the entire day at the centre, in hope that they will be able to receive proper operations.

And here we are, so pissed and annoyed over homework, tests and what not. But we're all so lucky. We look normal. We are not living in a country with poor conditions. We get to enjoy things that those kids in Cambodia wouldn't even think of. We just don't know how to appreciate what we actually have, we moan about things we didn't have. All we need to do is to learn how to look at things in a different light, how to appreciate how lucky we are here.
