Tonight is an emotional night for me. There have been lots of time where I felt thankful and fortunate for everything that I've got but tonight I felt it MUCH stronger than before. I realised just how REALLY fortunate that us normal people are, with almost everything we can ask for: appearance, money, health, intelligence, senses, family, friends....These things that we take for granted are the exact same things that others dun have. This girl I saw on the TV programme 梦。窑匠 really made my heart ache so much and I cried the whole time i watched the show. She has a lot of illnesses, all taking up her small and fragile little body. She's the same age as me which made me even more sad as what I have and possess compared to hers is like heaven. She doesn't have the appearance that even normal people have. She can't speak, eat and walk and only hears with the hearing aid. She uses sign language, and survive only on milk from a device that is connected to her stomach. She is stick thin which pains my heart to see and yet she still has this cheerful and positive outlook, eagerness to study and the initiative to make friends. Her parents have done the best in their abilities to care for her and LOVE her and their interaction really makes me feel that LOVE is the best feeling that one could ever have in the world. What are we compared to these less fortunate who live fighting everyday to live with whatever little they have while we are complaining despite how much we've got. Seeing this programme made me wanna study harder to make good use of the opportunity that god gave me and not give up despite whatever small difficulty I face. I also learned to be more gracious and generous and THANKFUL for whatever I have. Every time I think of the less fortunate, they will be my motivators to live my life positively and to always think of what I can do to help others even if its just a small gesture. I am not very certain that whatever job I take on in future, it definitely has got to do with helping the less fortunate...and hopefully I will get to do so. I wish that the lives of these less fortunate will gradually improve and that more Singaporeans give them their helping hand.
