I could be worse off

My heart leaped in joy when it was thrust into my hands yesterday... From the very same height, it plunged into the seemingly bottomless ravine when I realised it's not within my keeps anymore today..

Couldn't help feeling I'm the perfect epitome of the Oaf of the Century.

Vehement reproaching aside, i slowly pulled out of the dark clouds thinking....

I guess my mishap is nothing compared to the unfortunate starving in the streets, the plight of those suffering in war-torn countries, the sick battling with their debilitating conditions...

At least I still have ample food, warm clothings and a roof over my head.

It is a hard lesson to swallow, nevertheless a lesson well-learnt.

Anyhow... I could be worse off.
