Watch this video and think of how lucky we are.

Many people are suffering in the suburbs, while we are lying in the comfort of our beds.
Have you:
Ever groan when you can't buy the PSP on the shelf in a shop?
Ever grumble when you blame your mum for stuffing you with all that green-ish food?
Ever complain when the mud or sand on the ground get onto/stain your new linen silky dress that you bought from OG?
Ever moan when you are allocated to a 1-star hotel that doesn't even give you a bed with a nice soft pillow?
Ever whimper when you don't like the food you tasted?
Ever whine when the water is not hot enough for your bath?
Ever on the tap for a long time while you rinse your mouth?
Don't you think it's time for us to appreciate what we have, instead of wanting this and wanting that?
Don't you think it's time for us to not take things for granted, instead of wasting this and wasting that?
There are so many people out there, craving for food that would give them the energy to get up, craving for a proper home with just the simplest facilities, craving for love that their family failed to give them.
Although we, the people of the city, as students, can't do anything to help them directly, we can help them indirectly. By not wasting resources. Not being a spoiled brat, not complaining of too much food.
Atleast, that can help our conscience.
Just put yourselves in their shoes, and if you feel the same way they do, and if you feel as you are suffering, that means, they, too, are suffering.
