Many times in our life, we compared ourselves with other and we always feel others are better than us. Weather they are taller than us, have a smoother skin than us, look more beautiful than us and many more. The more we compare, the more we feel we are imperfect and there are to some extent we started to blame our parents for failing to give us the traits that our friends or brother and sis have. Does the thinking of actually our parents have already give us the best they can pop up in our mind? Although sometime what they give us or what we inherit from them is not what we want but it’s doesn’t mean they haven’t give us the best they can?
Think about it, some of us might blame our parents for given us either too small or too big eyes. But do we wonder, even though it’s was either too big or small; our eyes are perfect for it can see the world. What the use of beautiful eyes, if it can’t be used to look at the world. If all of us have this type of thinking that is even though our body, our organ, or our senses is not the way we want it to be but it was working perfectly. Aren’t it’s a blessing. Isn’t it what we should thank our parents for? But how many of us actually thank our parents for given us the good conditioned body? Instead we keep on comment how imperfect we are and this might indirectly hurt their heart. Think about it, if all of us have the same look, can we count ourselves unique. It’s the different that made us a unique person in the world. For you can’t find another person that look exactly like you. They might look similar but not the same.
These thought came to me when I visit a handicap home today. From there I learned that even though my mom doesn’t give me a pretty look but she has given me a great or should I say a perfect working body. I don’t need a wheelchair for I can use my leg to walk, I doesn’t need to take medicine and undergone medical treatment, for she have given me a perfect organ system. And if I do have to undergone such suffering, it’s was my own fault for failing to take care what I have. Even though I’m not a genius at least my brain was working for me. I can think using it. Maybe the imperfect that I think I have is indeed perfect after all. Why compared in the first place? Instead of compare its better we take the time to accept and thanks our parents and god for given us what we have today.
From there I also learned that our life is very fragile. It might gone any minute, any time. We never know what would happened to us the next minute so its very important for us to appreciate and love every minute in our life. One of the uncle words really made me think. That time we was visiting 2 handicap person that are bedridden and one of them have fall asleep. The uncle tells us that during our small time or during our infant time, our parents used to watch us sleep. It’s make me wonder have I seriously take care to look at how my parents sleep at night. Have I care about them like how they care for me. Have I love them deep enough like how they love me?
Well a trip to the handicap home is really worth my time for it have teach me a lot of things, sometime things that I take for granted. I have learned to love myself as who I am and love the person especially my parents when I still have the time. All that they have done to me is impossible I can give back but I can always do something to make their days.
