One day, the father of a wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm that would 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 you see how poor people live?" the father asked again "Oh yeah" said the son "So, tell me, what did u learn, my son?" The son answered,"I saw that we have one dog and they have 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 lantern 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 to serve us but they serve others we buy our foods but they grow theirs we have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them" The father was speechless. Then his son added,"Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are" Isn't perspective is a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends. "Life is too short and friends are too few" What do you think???
