The day you can cry at the pain of somebody you don’t even know and you don’t intentionally cry but it just comes out from somewhere it will heal you of your own pain inside you. That’s the way nature works. No matter how less or how little you have, no matter how crappy life seems, everybody has enough in their life to be grateful for.
We have hundreds and millions of people on this planet who are part of our family who go to bed hungry every night, who don’t get a square meal, who want to study but don’t ever get an opportunity. There are people who don’t have clothes over their bodies. There are people who don’t have any roof over their heads. Just think how lucky you are in the scheme of things. You can make your life complete and full without doing much at all, just be grateful. If you are grateful your life will be beautiful.
