Hmm

Do you ever wish for something?
Ever really want something?
The latest phone.
The latest computer.
The best designer clothes.

What about wanting these;
Food.
Warmth.
Family.
Money to buy the bare essentials.
Happiness.

Most people don't have to wish for the second list of things, most people have these readily available, they have a house, filled with family, filled with food and love and compassion. Enough money to survive, maybe some for some little extras, maybe enough for a holiday.
But don't forget, everywhere you go, there are people that will wish, pray, and depend on that second list of items. They don't even have time to think of even getting a rubbish phone to just stay in contact with loved ones. Because they have nothing.

Just be greatful for what you have, because others have nothing. Even I forget how lucky I am sometimes, but then I remember or even see someone homeless and it fills me with dread, fear, upset.

You never know what you have until you have nothing.
