Think about it!

We all have experienced moments of discouragement, when everything seems to go wrong and our self-esteem gets really low. I’m still young, I haven’t reached eighteen yet, but I have often felt that way. I have already asked “Why me?”, a terrible expression of impatience, dissatisfaction, immaturity of thought and ingratitude for the good things in life. Reflecting on the best way to fight those feelings of discouragement I’ve just prepared some questions and I’d like to share them with you.  

The next time that happens, remember the homeless boy or girl who has no family to live or fight with.

Before you start complaining about your teachers or classmates, think of the boys and girls who have been out of school because they have to work to help their family.

Think of the person who has never known what it’s like to love and be loved in return.

Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Think of the cancer patient in chemotherapy who has no hair to examine.

Instead of asking “Why me?”, remember things could be worse – you could be them.

Unless we stop buildings fences and start building bridges, we will never really get to the full meaning of life. Instead of asking “Why me?”, we should be asking “What about us?”

Leia, a seguir, um fragmento da canção “Viva la vida” da banda britânica Coldplay:

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
