Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us? - The Orange Catholic Bible

I always see people here crying out "FML", see people there groaning about the tons of homework, one scolding the teacher for being too strict and another condemning the teacher for lousy teaching. Not just in the educational zone, but in many other areas in life too. I hear complains on the food for being too oily or tasteless and so on... I witness a girl complaining about her looks and stuff, seen another guy unhappy because his beloved one did not like him. Seen another upset with his family, while another totally screwed up his studies big time and was so down and depressed. Sounds familiar? Hating this, disliking that, upset with this, not satisfied with that. I guess you all should understand that people tend to be like "Why must this happen?" or "It's not good enough."... When I saw this kind of things, I can't help but think of the hundred of thousands or millions suffering out there either because of natural disasters or environment or illness. People ARE suffering out there. Suffer you ask? From what? From the tons of homework? Or the bad taste of food? Or from the irritating people we've met? Or because of 'not good enough' looks and stuff? Nope. They are suffering due to the lack of basic needs such as food and water. Suffering due to the lack of nutritions. Suffering due to serious diseases. Suffering due to the loss of their homes, their livelihood. Even suffering due to the loss of loved ones, be it friends or family. Those kind of suffering... You may have witnessed it on the news or the television. But unless you have experienced it before, you would never fully understand how it feels like. OUR suffering? Homework? Hey look, some or most kids from less-developed countries did not even have the chance to have education! If you think it's good for them as they won't need to tire themselves out doing the tons of homework, I assure you, those people would jump at the chance to have education so that they could go to work in the future to support themselves and their family. Food that does not meet our expectations? Crap. There are people out there in desperate need of food in order to survive. They need food for survival, not to enjoy it. If you really think that your life is screwed up over and over again, think again. Face reality, we are leading a far more comfortable life than a lot of unfortunate people. The fact is that people living comfortable lives tend to not be satisfied with whatever they have, they still want more and expect more. C'mon, even if we don't sympathise those people suffering, at least be content with what you already have.
