My Perspective on Humans

Everyone takes for the granted the things we receive in life, whether its what you do or don't want. The home you get to go to every day, the food put on your plate, and the bed you sleep in. Its all taken for granted and I should know because I've taken for granted many things but I'm only human and its what we do as one of our faults. There are people out there that don't get food everyday, some barely enough for what we would call an actual meal. No beds or homes. I'm not talking about a well built building that you can go into and call home, I'm talking about a place that a family lives in with plenty of space, good lighting, and closed off rooms. No one really knows what they have until its all taken away, or at least they don't think about what they have. They have to complain because someone has the newest, most expensive pair of high heels or the new car. We can't be happy with what we already have and so we try to find a way to get what we want. But what happens when we do get what we want? Something else comes out on the market and we complain because we want that as well. Having all of your belongings stripped from you is worse than not getting the next big thing or having the nicest clothing in school. The feeling is terrible, horrible. From the way I see it some people need to experience this to be able to appreciate what they have. I can understand it better when someone whose been poor and had to work literally everyday all day just to feed their children or themselves wants a little something more that they know they cant have and wont have. Someone who has been homeless, abused, and had to live in a shelter or out on the streets wants the new nice car or the biggest and nicest house. Those people don't have anything. The world needs to stop and take a serious look around and maybe if the analyze others and see that they are better off than some then maybe they will shut their mouths for a while.
