Why are we so ungrateful??
On my way home yesterday,I was pissed I had to take a bus home just
because I am watching my expenditure,yet,I saw so many people walking.
I was too busy to eat,so my mum bought me a malt drink.It was so
refreshing,yet i drank only half of the bottle because I saw the
caloric content:65kcal per 100ml,and the drink was 330ml.I'm not on a
diet,just conscious,yet,I didn't think about the millions of Lagosians
that'll go hungry because they can't afford food.
On my way home yesterday.I stopped at a stall to buy noodles,and a
little boy came to buy onions.When asked what quantity he wanted,he
said 'N5'.The seller grumbled and said her onions cost from N10,the
any said,''my mummy has only N5''. I shuddered.My first thought was
that this family is so poor,but as of today,I know I'm the poor
person.
This boy,at his young age,was appreciative of the fact that his mother
couldn't afford more.At his age,all i did was ask,and recieve. I've
complained I've had to take buses,yet people walk. I was bothered
about the most inconsequential things when people like this boy will
probably be grateful he can go to school.i promise to try to be more
conscious of my blessings,because they are a lot.
Will you be conscious too??
