Grateful 24-7


Isn't it great if we can smile happily all the times? Just let thanksgiving fill our heart 'til there's no space for anything else. No resentment, no jealousy, no unsatisfied feelings. Yet it's our weakness as human beings that we tend to be ungrateful for what we have. We always want more and more! If Adam and Eve had been satisfied with all the stuffs that God gave them, we would not be here at the first place. The question is when will we be satisfied?

More than 30 years ago, people wanted something that can be used to communicate and Mr. Bell invented a telephone. Afterwards we wanted a mobile version of a telephone, hence Motorola invented the 1G mobile phone. Since then, there has been more demands than ever. Nowadays a mobile phone can almost do everything we can think of, yet there's more to add on.

When we think of what we need, it will never be enough! Have we ever stopped and think of others' needs? Have we taken the chance to pour the words of hope to someone who desperately needs it? In last few days, have I encouraged anyone? Have I spare couple of minutes letting someone know that he/she is important? When I've done that, trust I will be grateful 24-7.

Satisfaction encompasses more than self-interests. It is a humanity's means to drive forward, to be imaginative and expectant of the future. It should not be denied or feared or hated. No one is ever satisfied because there is always more happiness left unopened--somewhere.
