I found this beautiful 記事 and I had to share :)


One 日 a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of 表示中 his son how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did あなた see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," 発言しました the son.
"So, tell me, what did あなた learn from the trip?" asked the father.!
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have フレンズ to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for 表示中 me how poor we are."


Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes あなた wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.
