Title: Food for thought
Writer: UsR Jason
Date: May 19th 2012
I spoke to a little kid today and I was as humbled as I have ever been. We all sit here at times moaning about nothing. We moan at FIFA with lag or when we lose. We moan when we miss the bus. We moan after a day of work. We moan about having no money. We moan about someone disagreeing on the forum.
This kid is not going to see their tenth birthday. They have had septicaemia. They have had E-coli. They have an illness that is going to kill them before they even reach an age of double digits. They are never going to be able to drink, smoke, gamble, find romantic love, reproduce or dare I say even read a site like this where you need to be thirteen years old.
All this kid does through life is smile even with wires sticking out of their skin and some contraption hooked up to them that is a nuisance to us all. We moan when the label on our clothing digs in but this kid has a hole in their body with far worse protruding.
Next time we moan about something, spare a thought for those who would laugh at our trivial problems and would swap positions in a heartbeat. Life is not so bad after all.
