Something good to share!!!

"Something good to share...."

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

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very deprived family.

On their return from the trip, the father asked his child, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad"

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the young man.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The lad answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had 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 lanterns 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 who serve us, but they serve others.
We purchase our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how unfortunate 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 near and dear ones! If you pass this page on to friends and acquaintances, they too will hopefully refresh their perception and admiration.
