Photos That Touch Your Heart
Written by Abel Cheng   
Thursday, 16 August 2007

We always take things for granted. We only appreciate things when we lose them.

Before sleep, I always show my gratitude in silence for another day that is granted to me. I thank for the things that I have. Especially my wife and two kids, my health and wealth.

I do my best to focus on what I have rather than what I don’t have.

If you think you’re the worst person ever live on Earth, think again. There’s always something that you can feel grateful for. There’s always someone out there whose situation is worse than yours.

Seeing is believing.

Check out these photos and let me know if you don’t feel better off than them.

There are 10 of them:

Photo 1: Together, through Warm and Cold
Photo 2: Love
Photo 3: Grandpas’ Tears
Photo 4: Amidst Rain and Wind
Photo 5: Old Man Crying
Photo 6: Mothers’ Love
Photo 7: Coal Carrier
Photo 8: I want to go to school
Photo 9: Care for those forgotten
Photo 10: Spirit to live

  Yes...I am grateful that I am alive, that I have a roof over my head and food in the fridge. I am grateful that I can drive my own car and that I have a computer on which to help raise consciousness.

I am grateful that I have met and joined with many other child safety dedicated bloggers.

I am grateful for having seen those photos Abel and for being able to reflect upon them.

  Pain in life can't be measured against each other.

I've learned that when my daughter died.

So I only feel worse when seeing these photo's, because there are so many people who see this and feel no compassion.

I feel so sorry for these people...

Sorry, you intended well.

  Laane: The one hit me the most is "Pain in life can't be measured against each other." It made me realize that who am I to say you're more painful than the others, while only you know best how you feel inside. Thanks for the great insight.

Sorry to hear about your daughter.
