Once too often we get an email telling us a story about some loving couple or family enjoying life together. And how disaster struck later which causes some of them to leave the world suddenly. And the remaining people mourns the loss of their love ones, telling us how we should cherish the people we love around us and not to take things for granted.
So do we take things for granted?
Do we take people for granted?
Have we taken acts of kindness for granted?
How many times when people who care for us worries about our well being, but we just push them aside saying "I know what I'm doing!!"?
How many times when people explained that something isn't good for us yet we still choose to do it?
How many times when people try to discourage us in doing something which may hurt us and we say "It's none of your business!!"
How many times when people fear that we will do things that indirectly harm ourselves and we say "It does not affect you!!"
How many times have we hurt the ones who care for us? How many times more will we hurt them?
How will you feel, when you care for someone and advise the person, yet they say "It does not concern you!!" How does that feel? How can one say to you such harsh words? How can it be none of your concern, when the person is someone you care for.
If the person is your family, is your friend, is someone you care for, then it is definitely your business. And your heart and mind will always be troubled thinking of the negative things which will happen to them. Isn't this correct? For example, why do you walk your younger sis around the mall when she wants to shop for something? Because you are worried... It's the same concept...
If put yourself in my shoes and think of my feelings when you said "It doesn't affect you!! It is none of your business!! It has nothing to do with you!!!". Then maybe you will understand what I mean.
You are my friend,
So your problems are my business,
You are my companion,
So when you are unhappy I wont be either,
You are my confidant,
So when you feel uncomfortable I will feel the same,
You are my buddy,
So to care for you is my work,
You are my mate,
So to concern about your well being is my duty,
You are my brother,
So to think of what is best for you is my responsibility.
It hurts when I do something for your benefit, yet you don't understand it,
It hurts when I say something for your own good, yet you misunderstood me,
It hurts when I plan something nice for you, yet you think I have some ulterior motives,
It hurts when I give something for the best of your interest, yet you think I'm not sincere.
Some people may say you are dumb as you can't see what I've done for you,
Some people may say I am silly as I'm still trying to do so much for you,
It hurts, but I rather you do things to hurt me than I do things to harm you,
It hurts, I admit, but that won't stop me from caring for a friend like you.
So do we take things for granted?
Do we take people for granted?

'Cherish' is a simple word to say, but 'taking for granted' is an easier word to do...
A beautiful story can be easily written, but whether you truly appreciate and understand the story which you have written is another story...

二月七号，在嘉伶百货市场有个很特别的节目也就是漂亮妈妈比赛。当天的妈妈们都打扮得非常隆重！！特别的漂亮！！！随便望一望能发现有几位的年纪还真是不小，但是慎重打扮一番还是能让人多看一眼。
美丽妈妈开始出场。。。 
大家都摆好架势了！！！唔！！！是不是艳丽迷人呢？！ 
开始访问了哦！！ 
才艺表演！！幸好一个人坐，眼睛红红的，真丢脸。。 
开始计算分数咯！！黄色（最有魅力妈妈奖）和红色（最受欢迎妈妈奖）我投了给当场我最佩服的一位妈妈。。青色（最亲切妈妈奖）我投给了七十岁的婆婆！！不容易咯，有十个孙了，两个太孙还能上台唱歌。 
我投的两位妈妈们都没赢得公众投票比赛。。但是，呵呵，我觉得最有魅力的还是我投的那一位咯。。进的了厨房，出的了厅堂！！！这我不佩服都不行咯！！！！！！当天的主体是‘珍惜’，
珍惜身旁的一切，
关心你的人，
你所拥有的，
不要去埋怨自己没有的，
反而因该仔细地去发觉自己所拥有的一切，
健康，朋友，家人，
好好地珍惜与照顾他们。。
那两天的一切，自己真的没尝试过，
真的很感激，
也很珍惜那两天的经历，
在这里就只能说声谢谢。。。
