25 July 2012:
Be thankful for what you have.
Some people get upset and feel that they are not appreciated by others. However, have these people appreciated themselves?I am guilty for some of such things. The Yunnan trip I went to in 2010 delivered a strong message about appreciation.
Appreciate the things and people around you. From what I understand Christians give thanks to their God. Even though I do not believe the same way as them, I agree that giving thanks is necessary and essential.
Think of the person you detest most. Find 2 reasons to thank him / her for; they shall not be sarcastic. If you can't think of even one, you're not thinking hard. Either that, or perhaps this person is really too much of an arsehole.
Chances are you'll start realising the subtle good parts of these people whom you are strongly against. Maybe you would start treating them better.
TTFN.
