things are never what they seem to be....

In our everyday lives, how many things do we actually appreciate with our whole heart? How do we actually perceive others? Lately, this is what I have  been thinking about. Many of us have everything in our life and yet we complain. We talk about other people's problems without thinking twice but in reality, have we once tried to put ourselves in their position? Just for a moment? When we are going through a problem, why is it that we want the whole world to understand how we feel but when it is our turn to understand someone else, we pretend to be so ignorant??
Nobody in this world is above anyone. That is a fact. Status, wealth and fame are all a part of an illusion. They will be around today and tomorrow, they may dissapear never to come back. No doubt that as human beings, we want all the good things in life but sometimes, when we acquire those good things, why do we tend to forget where we came from? Why do we start thinking of ourselves as superior?
There are very many other good things in life that we should start thinking about so that we can become better people and make the world a better place to live in.  This was the thought of the day....
