One day, the father of a wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on a farm as what would be considered as a very poor family. On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, "Son, how was the trip..??". "It was great Dad.." the son answered. "Did you see how poor people live??" asked the father again. "Oh yeah" said the son. "So tell me, what did you learn from the trip??" the father asked.

The son replied.

"I saw that we have one dog and they have four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden and they had 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 to serve us, they serve others.

We buy our food, they grow theirs.

We have walls to protect our property, they have friends to protect them."

The father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks for showing me how poor we are.."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing??

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends.

Life is too short, friends are too few..

Have a good day all..
