The innate desire of humans is to have the greatest that the
world has to offer. The moment we find ourselves not having something and
happen to see someone else with the thing, our envy and jealousy is flared up.
The process of comparing and contrasting ourselves with others is set into
motion and we start seeing ourselves with reference to a set admired person. We
start to see what they have and we do not, not seeing what we have and probably
they do not.
Some of the things that we have initially look so trivial
and simple but in reality they are the most important. The most succinct of
them all are the core drivers of our lives and are the sole reason we are
alive. Our own bodies are a masterpiece of an accumulation of abundant
blessings and abilities. Most of us are able to do everything on our own
without the assistance of others, but some exist who can hardly do anything
without others. Those of us who can should contemplate this.
For instance, the fact that we are alive and able at this
moment is a great think to be thankful for. The universe is so large that an
imagination of the processes going on at every moment is astounding. Everyday
somewhere, people die because of a variety of causes. We should learn to give
thanks and use the opportunities that we have to the fullest. Explore the much
that we can when we still are able, for a time may come when we shall no longer
be able. The things that we might be having and seeing them as normal could be
the daily prayer and dream of somebody somewhere.
Look into your life, identify the little things that you
have, your having all the senses, being alive, the things that you own. Be
thankful for them. Know that somebody lacks the same things you have. If you
can live and be on your own, be thankful and work towards whatever you want
because you have got all that you need. Share and give what you can and
everyday live in the reality of your bestowment. From this I can say that we
all are rich by default.
