I wake up 10 feet away from potable water. I go to work. I have a job. It is safe and it pays enough. I have lunch. I have never known hunger except by my own choice. I go home and my house has not been burned to the ground. My wife has not been raped and killed. My daughter has not been sold off to a bordello. My son has not been given drugs and an AK-47 and conscripted into some war lord’s army. I go to warm comfortable bed at night with a roof over my head. I pray to the God of my choice and am not persecuted for it.
Yup, when I compare myself to people who do not have what I have, I consider myself blessed.
True wealth should not be measured by how much you have. It should be measured by how much you don’t need.
