What to think about and how to appreciate life? Do we dwell on the negative in depreciation of all that is around us, to feel bad about all we do not have? To look at what others have and that being what we do not have? To feel sorry for our parents who had even less than what we have? Wondering who to blame for this lack, to blame those who have what we do not have? To not know other's conditions, to think they all have it better than what we have, but the fact is that we do not know their true circumstances, that they might have it really tough, we do not know. Wishing you could be like someone you know, but you do not know what they have or do not have, to think they have it better, when in fact they might have it much worse.
To extend your hand with a hand out, but not just to the poor. There are people who must lie and cheat for a living, occupations that are unethical, but this is all they have and all they can do. To feel sorry for those who awake everyday wishing that they would not awake, to must steal and cheat for a living, to wish to roll over and go back to bed.
Hangovers from red wine consumed the night before, could not get to sleep without it. "Drowning our sorrows" as is said. But reality is that he awoke with the same sorrows he had last night.
To feel empathy and sympathy for everyone you meet, all have it bad or did have it bad or will have it bad. To love humans, to appreciate them, to know how hard some may have it.
To know there are people in chronic pain, pain no matter what they do or whatever medicine they take. To be good and tolerant of these people, to realize they are in some world of excruciating pain that cannot be relieved no matter what they do to try to alleviate it.
Give someone a loving smile, say words to others of appreciation and try to chase away the blues with all the colors of the rainbow. To share your rainbow with others and share your love with them too.
