This is my view everyday outside my humble abode for the foreseeable future. Way different than the view in the city where I grew up.

Is it beautiful or is it just different?

For people that never get the chance to see places like this in person before would be in awe, “Beautifuuuuul…”the uniqueness and how different this scene to a lot of people’s everyday environment gives this place instant prestige and appreciation. But for people who live and breathe with this scene everyday would be indifferent.

This is the same with most things in life. The comfort we enjoy on a regular basis loses its significance as time goes by. Some kind of law of depreciating return but to once you educate yourself to the predicament of other people then and only then you would see and appreciate the value of the comfort you’re taking for granted.

Your good health and mobility; a lot of handicapped people would trade places with you and if in case they’re wealthy, I would bet that they choose to part ways with that wealth just to regain their independence and mobility. So next time you’re feeling down, remember this.

There are people who are doing worse than you and all they want is to do the small things on their own (Walking, eating, bathing).

To feel discontent seems to be a part of our biological default setting, and it is the sign of an evolved civilized sapien to triumph over this default setting. To manufacture negative contrasts that will highlight the beauty and value of its current favorable state and environment.
