No, this is not the title of a song ... but this is my free translation ... :-)
How do often we see one another in our life ? I see your life so happy, but it could be the opposite .. Others always see us laughing as if there is no sorrow in our life.
Then what is the antidote? Nothing but none other than gratitude ...

A grateful ...

Yet, gratitude is very difficult to do because temptation always comes. The temptation is always to see one another ... To compare one another's property with others ... Our thanks to the Almighty will always be turned.
Complaining becomes more enjoyable to be done rather than grateful for what has been given to us ... because again we are often to see each other ..

Did i do this?? Ohh of course ... my gratitude that I just want to say can suddenly slipped into a sense of complaint after I see  someone else's :-DWhen I saw a group of monks in Kathmandu, Nepal some time ago, I imagined how boring their lives would be, but it could be that they saw how  'tiring' our lives with the hustle and bustle ... Because the way we "see" is different ...

We never even know what each of us went through that day ... But we prefer to only judge one another from the outside.

The humble Monks in Kathmandu, Nepal
The best choice is to try to position ourselves as someone else that we already see, but of course this is difficult to do ... So what?Maybe .. then .. it's okay to continue .. yet  the way "I look at you and you look at me" that now must be more straightened, while again every day, every second we continue to learn to add gratitude to Him, our Almighty .. the most gentle and kind ..

#note to myself
# Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
