I am so glad to have:
1) Parents to love me, to give me money to go shopping, to provide me all the support that I need (even though not all the time).
2) Siblings to remind me that there shall always be at least someone who'd make me smile (or annoyed or irritated, but still blessed).
3) Friends to be there for me when I've got things to talk about with my family, to go out shopping with me, to smile and cry with me.
I mean I might not be going to Germany like my sister, or London, or Switzerland. But hey, I've got friends who haven't gone further than Melacca. Heck Melacca, I've got friends who haven't been outside Singapore at all. And I should be glad that at least I've been on a plane although it's been only a few more than a couple of times.
My point is, sometimes I do get envious of other people. Sometimes, I feel as if life is not fair. Sometimes, I want more than what I have. And whenever those times do come, I wonder why it didn't occur to me that there are people who are less fortunate than I am and that I should be glad with what I have and what God has given me.
See, we are all human. That's why we are all like that. No one is ever so saint or perfect to be glad with everything they have. Everyone would want to strive for more. I guess that's what drive us to live on.
