I Am Grateful For What I Have
After seeing the attached pictures,
I feel very GRATEFUL for what I have today....... We are so lucky! contemplate on this... I felt very fortunate to live in this part of the world. I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I promise not to waste water. I pray that this little boy be alleviated from his suffering. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the suffering in the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us about how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted. Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we waste daily..." MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE FROM SUFFERING!!!! These pictures really have brought a change in the way my children view at food and other things and that nothing should be taken for granted. Hoping that atleast few people's attitude towards things change P.S the text in the last picture has become too small due to compression. The photo was a pulitzer winning one of the sudan famine taken in 1994. it shows the child crawling towards,UN food camp, a kilometer away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die. The photographer Kevin Carter who took this picture committed suicide due to depression. I am sure many of you would have already seen these pictures, this for the members who have not seen.

Re: I Am Grateful For What I Have
Yes vedhaas, maybe an old picture & an old story but so very relevant for posterity. Just for your further info, Kevin Carter who won the Pulitzer prize for this photograph got so depressed that he drove away one day, parked his car with engine rumming, connected his exhaust tail-pipe into the car cabin& gassed himself to death. So tragic & ironic is'nt it that he was consumed by the power of his own photograph.
Anyway, your post also made very powerful reading vedhaas. Liked your noble thoughts expressed therein. God bless you for it.
