There are people dying somewhere.

I'm going to tell you guys a story, a really really meaningful story.

Alright, there was this old man, who was very rich and he had achieved whatever he wanted in his life. So one day, he went to the beach, and saw a few youngsters lying down by the beach and doing nothing but staring at the sky. So the old man talked to them.


Old man / Youngsters
What are you guys doing over here? Aren't you all supposed to be in your school now?
Why do we need to go to school?
So that you could go to a better secondary school!
Why do we need to go to a better secondary school?
So that you can go for a better university!
Why do we need to go for a better university?
So that you could find a better job!
Why do we need to get a better job?
So that you could get higher salary!
After getting higher salary?
Then you can retire earlier and be like me!
Why do we need to retire earlier?
So that you could enjoy life earlier!
Alright, we don't need to go to school or study anymore.
Why?
We are already enjoying our lives now.

I know some of you may laugh after seeing this. But this isn't a joke. Why do we need to go for a BIG circle in life to achieve what we have already achieved or things that we could achieve by not putting any effort in it? Why study is important, as we can enjoy our lives by not studying, like what the youngsters did?

The answer is simple. We are studying for the sake of those who can't study. There are some people, who really really like studying, but they can't afford to do it. Why? Because they live in a place where there is no opportunity for them to study and read.

So why can't we study for THESE people?



Or THESE people?


I know some of the photos may look disgusting. But is that really what the kids wanted all this while? Starvation, diseases and everything? NO! They want to have a normal life what we have now, too! But do they have a choice? No! So guys, why can't we appreciate our lives from this very moment? Stop mumbling about everything. Whenever you feel you're living a meaningless and lifeless life, remember, there are some people who are living a WAY MORE lifeless life than you!

Alright, that's all and I really really hope that people will start to think of the others more than being selfish. Selfishness will only bring a world full of nuclear bombs, or even war. Remember that DEEPLY in your heart.
