how fortunate we are...

the photo is the pulitzer price winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an united nation food camp, located a kilometer away.
the vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it.
this photo shock the world. no one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer kevin carter who left place as soon as the photograph was taken.
three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

dear the up above,
I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it
can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy,
guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more
sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish
nature and interests.


I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.
Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere any place around the globe.
Think & look at this... when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily...
