Oh, my friend, it's not what they take away from you that counts.� It's what you do with what you have left.� ~Hubert Humphrey
I chose this quotation because people can be so ignorant on what they don't have, and not what they have.
People get so consumed in the up and coming new technology and think, "I need this, I need that!" I'm sick of it.
People don't seem to realize what they have right at home. Most have good parents who provide a warm home, food, the necessities and extras that teenagers seem to think we need to have.
People think that they need the newest gizmo, gadget, and toy. No, that's what they want.
But what is that we absolutely NEED? We need food, water, and shelter.
This does not mean gourmet meals, the finest water imported from Fuigi, or the most expensive houses in LA.
People get by on sandwiches, water from the tap, and houses with four walls and a roof.
These so called gadgets that we need, I believe that this day in age most do need a cell phone, for emergencies, and also as a form of communication between friends, family. However, most DO NOT need an iphone with all those applications, sure they are fun to play with, and it is a way of stating who you are, and where you stand in the societal money standings.
BUT, it's not a NECESSITY. There is no where in the moral human code that states: one needs an Iphone to survive in life.
I just don't fathom how people can complain about what they don't have...We all need to think about what we do have...It's a slap in the face to someone who gives you a heartwarming, FROM the heart card that took time and effort, and you say, "Oh...just a card?" that is ignorant beyong belief, we all need to take the time to think about what we all have, we have our lives, isn't that enough to be thankful for?
Remember, it's not what you don't have, it's what you do have that's more important than anything in the world.
