Perspective

[hoarsewhisperer]

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his
son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing him how poor people lived.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm,
of what would be 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?" asked the
father.

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; They have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden; they have
the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have the
whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on; they have
fields that go beyond their sight.

We have servants to serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, 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 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 and families

Share this with your friends and acquaintances to help
them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
