Do we appreciate the conditions we live in? One time I confronted with statistic expressed in very interesting form: "If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a religious meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people across the globe. If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. And if you can read this, you are more blessed than over two billion people who cannot read at all." Each time I read this statistic I wonder weather I appreciate the conditions I live in? And you?

What an insightful and meningful statistic. Sometimes you don' t truly appreciate what you have until it's gone.
