before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak before you complain about your food think of someone who has nothing to eat before you complain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven before you argue about cleaning your house think of the people who are living in the streets before whining about the distance driving to school think of someone who has to walk the same distance before complaining about your job think of the unemplyed desperate for work before you point finger or condemn another remember no humans is perfect when depressing thoughts seem to get you down thank all those around you who encourage you remember to give love always to others
