One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was
the trip?"
" It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father
asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they
have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go
beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends
to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Too many times, we forget what we have and concentrate on what we
don't have.
What is one's person's worthless object is another's prize possession?
It is all based on one's perspective.
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for all the
bounty we have instead of worrying about wanting more. Take joy and
appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
