With all the stress and challenges one faces in everyday in life,its pretty easy to turñ a blind eye at the beautiful things of life. Life itself is full of ups and downs,twists and turns ,challenges and victories.. I guess that's the way life is and no amount of prayer or whinning can change that. On the upside,if one can think deeply, one would appreciate life. The fact that you are alive,the fact that you are not paying for the oxygen you breathe(if you want to know how expensive oxygen is,a trip to a hospital will open your eyes),the fact that you are healthy,the fact that you are not confined to a hospital bed are reasons enough to know life is beautiful. One just needs to focus on the positive side and not dwell on the negative side. If you have a job,you can feed yourself, you are healthy.. Then life is surely beautiful. I may not be as rich as bill gates..I may live in a third world nation...I may not be able to afford a life of luxury,globetrotting ..the fact that I'm not begging to feed and the fact that I'm healthy are enough reasons to appreciate life.For me,life is beautiful.. Just have it in mind that it is not everything you want in life that you will get.You can put that in your pipe and smoke it.
