Similarly the freedom we enjoy in our motherland is taken so much for granted. Imagine those countries where human rights are non existent. People struggle for existence. Their daily food and water is also a problem. There are no jobs and everyone struggles for few dollars. Take the case of juvenile prostitution which was brought up recently. Next year is the World Cup in Brazil and the city is getting ready for it. The most despicable way is young nubile girls are being sold into prostitution for the people who will come for seeing that and enjoying them. These girls are today 14 and 15years of age. How really bad does it sound? So when we take our freedom for granted and want more and more of it, let’s give these deprived people some thoughts too.
Stay at home grandparents take care of your young children when you go to work. They have spent their youth being free completely and later they have had you. These old folks are trapped in your world of rearing your kids for you. All for your happiness. We take these old folks too much for granted too. We believe it’s our birthright to dump the children on to them. Ever tried to empathize and see how they are tied and bound by you? They have become your and your kids slaves. But do you care? You believe they are happy taking care of your house and kid? Isn’t it?
I have three extreme examples of how we treat life so extravagantly and loosely. Respecting life and what it has offered us is important. We should appreciate our daily routines too. You saw that too is deprived in some countries. You should enjoy every moment of life sipping in gently and relishing every minute of it.
Even heartaches and troublesome periods are appreciable since we learn the value of time and life. These tension filled moments show us the futility of getting worried and troubled every moment. What use is it, you may ask later! But you go through these, cutting up the opposition or calamities with a flourish. You learn to value life and live it to the fullest.
So in conclusion, celebrate your life every minute and appreciate that you are there to see it through. No trouble can be greater than the sweetness of overcoming it. Be a survivor and a life soldier. You are made to last all such extreme conditions. You will survive. Appreciate this birth as a human.
