The human mind can be very interesting.
What we perceive in this world may not be agreeable with others.
I just heard this story of a boy from a rich family. His parents, wanting him to learn the differences between the rich and the poor, sent him off to a remote village so that he could learn to appreciate what he had in the rich life he led. After a few days, the parents came to fetch him and were anticipating for their child to complain about his days spent at the village and describing how poor the villagers are.
The child started talking about his stay.
"Daddy. Mummy. You know, we have a huge swimming pool in our backyard? These villagers have a gigantic lake in their backyard. While we have gas and cooking stove, they have to use the wood that they picked in the forest which makes their food really delicious. While we have food readily from the supermarket, they have theirs fresh from the forest and fields of vegetables. While we have walls around our house, they open their doors to all their relatives and visiting friends. Thank you Daddy and Mummy for making me realize just how poor we are."
Isn't that interesting? A view that doesn't conform to the society. So if you ever feel depressed or anything, perhaps you should start viewing things in a different light.
