Giving thanks to the one above.
Just when I thought that I have gone through some pretty nasty shit in my life, the crap factor in my life outdoes itself and in the past month or so, I find myself having to tackle situations that are fucking terrible.
I was beginning to feel sorry for myself till I opened the newspapers today to read about a tragic tale of how a man lost his life as he was sitting on the upper deck of a bus which was hit by a crane. The man has 4 sons, all intellectually challenged, two with kidney problems and one in IMH. He was a cleaner, his wife a homemaker and the entire family survived on his salary of $300 a month. A pitiful sum which they will no longer receive.
It was a blast of cold water to my face. I have not known misery. I have not encountered difficulty. I have not met sorrow. My life with the minor pitfalls I call problems is pretty darn blessed. I am counting my blessings. All 5 million of them.
Syukur Alhamdulillah.
