Happiness and Peace
Posted by Ivan
Happiness is not determined by wealth. People all over work for wealth and happiness and the tendency is to think of happiness with wealth. I am by no means the exception.
From small and coming from an extremely poor family, I have gone through extreme hardship. From the little boy that has gone trhough the hard truth about life during the early years, it has moulded me to be strong and especially so in the face of adversity. Despite that, today, I have come to terms that I have been very lucky, and never to blame the past, except for the occasional lament made and spoken in jest and joke.
Lucky to be born to this world firstly as a human being. Depending on your faith, one learns that one can be destined to the very lowly level creature such as animal and to suffer for a long time.
Lucky to be born as complete and normal person, unlike many who are handicapped in some way or another.
Lucky to have children and family, and be where I am today, very much better position than many others. Think about this, to be what you are, where you are, and how well you are nowadays. So much so, we now take life for granted. For some, let’s hope we still hold on to the good values that our parents nurtured in us and that we have not given up as yet. Striving and owrking very hard each day to make our life better, the people we love better.
For many, I am sure they still give some thoughts to the lives of others, others who are not so fortnate like us, but have to suffer and endure many hardships. So at times, we do what our compassions tells us to. We do what we can for the society, contribute donations, help out others, hoping that the little we do will touch on the lives of others. Our own little way of greatness and creating history for ourselves.
When I received and watched this video, the tears came naturally when I saw the laughter in these people. Deep in my heart, I am thankful that my family does not need to go through that, and pray that this will never happen my family. And this reinforces the very good values that we should espouces, that is never to let food goes to waste.
This is a Must Watch Video. This was submitted to a Berlin short film festival “don’t waste food”. It is truly heart breaking. It would be better to watch it with your family members.
In this video, Chicken-a-la-Carte is produced by Fernand Dimadura. I see Happiness and Peace, the laughters and good family values.
