   I was actually talking about this exact thing last week with a guy at work. Our biggest “problem” is affording a big enough house and figuring out how to buy a nicer car, meanwhile people all over the planet starve to death. It certainly puts things in perspective.

   Hi Cozmo,

   Seems like most human (including me) have endless “wants” and “needs”.

   Makes it a little easier to be grateful… which is in the greatest shortage right now in this America. Or, you could just adopt VP Cheney’s attitude: “So?”

   The music and the content is very touching. I am sitting there watching it with up and down emotions.

   That’s a great thing that we can appreciate and be gratitude of.

   Hi Polly Pureheart,

   It’s funny to see people chasing for something they don’t have and forget about what’s lying right in front of their eyes. (sometimes)

   We are richer then most other people and it was a really good reminder to put things in perspective and be grateful

   Hi Elizabeth,

   Yeah, the video makes me feel rich, suddenly.

   That’s very cool!

   I can’t believe that I’m soooo rich!

   I remember seeing this video a few years ago. It’s really hard for people to remember to keep things in this sort of perspective when the only troubles they really know are their own. All the time I try to remind myself that I’m perfectly healthy when I’m feeling down about something, and to think of the people out there that would love to just be able to walk. It is difficult to keep things like that at the forefront of my mind however. Day to day worries can cloud our vision.

    Hi Attraction Guy,

    Great to see that you enjoy that with your emotion.

    Hi Brent,

    Developing a habit of gratitude may help.

    It works for me where I list out things to be grateful for everyday and within 30 days, I already have the “gratitude” habit.

    Try it!

    Wow. That video was so moving.

    It certainly puts things in perspective.

    Hi Shafir,

    Thanks for the comment.

    I suppose that’s a great reminder for everyone.

    Life’s just great for us.

    It’s very touching. I didn’t know these facts until you show me! Thanks a lot. I want to make more difference to these people and stop complaining others anymore.

    Hi Colema Board,

    You’re very welcome.

    I’m glad to be able to share this with you.

    I’m touched by your passion to make more difference in these people.

    Give please. I don’t believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception, it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you’ve been getting ready to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you’ve known it always.
    I am from Mozambique and learning to speak English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Supermicro’s blood-pressure delivery is wounded on competitive biochemistry section operates asking bit and day this revenues.”

    THX , Ione.
