prerona: hmmm, i guess some of us think and some of us do... i have learnt that when we feel that strong emotion, we should contribute then and there.. the moment we start rationalising, it becomes a lost cause...

pallavi: for us, or others??

Manu, nice post. We do take a lot of things for granted... and when we do get what we want, we always want more. Human nature, I think.

And it is certainly humbling to see others in worse situations.

But I agree with Parna... I doubt many of us would put the good of many above our own good ...again, human nature.

Verr true ! I was thinking on similiar lines yesterday- just saw a documentary on kashmir and one line just kept on resonating in my mind - someone saying " I wonder how it is to wake up without hearing gunfire everyday" . Amen to life as it is

parna: its only after we satisfy all possible things that we look around.. and then we also justify it saying this was the way it was meant to be..

nupur: i shudder..:)

All are true

But

"We have not started the fire

it is always burning since the earth is turning "

so will it qualify me for taking something for granted

prero, i agree. but then we are talking about people like 'you' and 'me'. the point is would you donate the million dollars you win one fine day in a lottery? am not sure, but if am brutally honest, it would take me more than a couple of thoughts to donate even half of it. noble thoughts are one, but actually acting upon it for me might be a different ball game all together.

and exactly your point - we are common people or so we think, till the hurricane comes and hits us.

hey...what u say is true..but sometimes it is tough to feel what u r saying and really be greatful for all that u have coz there are needs which are more robust and dominant than my gratitude for life.Sad but this is another facet of reality!i guess!
