No food = one problem. Plenty of food = plenty of problems.
We’re so fortunate, living in America in the 21st century, that we take most of what we have for granted. When you watch the news, you would think that the sky is falling sometimes. There is so much negativity that dominates the headlines, because, let’s face it, negative stories are more captivating.
If you’re above the poverty level, and you don’t have to worry about where your next meal is going to come from, you have it good! It’s ironic though, that when we have plenty of food it seems we have plenty of problems too. Yet, when you have no food, when you don’t have a secure job or a safe place to live, the other problems that bother you and I? They aren’t there anymore. Instead, if you have no food, you only have one problem. It’s a big problem to have, but it puts everything else into perspective. Most of what we get upset about really doesn’t matter.
So if you’re having a bad day, if you think your life is hard, it could be true. But remember, there are others in this world who are going through much worse than you are. Keep your head up. Keep moving in the right direction. The future may seem bleak, but sunshine is right around the corner and better days are coming.
