great fullness.

day 86.

is a week ahead.being away made me realise home is where i want to be at.

and a trip to a country reminded me.
that being greatful is the key to enjoy what we have and not be bitter over what we don't.

so through out the journey only one word accompanied me all the way to the ending.
'ungrateful'

yes.ungrateful.that is what we are.silently without us even knowing it.we carry that word without feeling the heavy weight of its consequences.
we carry it as if it is as light as a single feather.
and we parade it as if it worth more than a diamond ring.

a week of journey sadden me,because all i saw was poverty.and nothing more.
but what sadden me even more.is not poverty itself.it is knowing that between poverty we seek wealth and between wealth we seek more.
and at the end.we appreciate not what we get and we long more for what we will never get.
along the journey,i was served with the view of scarcity of life through the windows of the bus that drove along a stretch of line that we can't barely call road.
and one thing came into mind.
i am lucky.
simply because

even though my country...
may not be the world leading nation,
may not have the best government,
may not have the smartest ruler,
may not provide the best health care,
and may not give the best education.

i can still experience a decent stretch of line that i can call road.
and that made me feel lucky.just a stretch of road.

and i realised too,with all the complaints that we give and all the dissatisfaction that we pore with anger.we take not time.to remember what we still have and take a moment to simply say.
Alhamdullilah.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not a world leading nation.we are still indeed a nation.
and because of that we can still join our hearts to make it even a better one.

Alhamdullilah.even though we may not have the greatest government.we still have a government that cares.but unfortunate of us to not see it because we are too busy being ungrateful almost all the time.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not blessed with the smartest ruler.we are still given the time to know that the only ruler is One.and He is God.

Alhamdullilah.even though we are not provided with the best health care.we still have God to rely on to.after all isn't He the only One that can remove sickness and befalls it?

and Alhamdullilah.even though we do not have the best education.we still have our brains to differentiate what is right and what is wrong..or maybe we can't any longer?

so with a journey ended.another journey begins.a journey to be a grateful oneself.and to realise.
hey.even when everything is gone.there is still one that will remain.God.

so to everyone.lets start this journey of being grateful because after all it leads to great fullness isn't it? :)
