a facial wash & 2 pieces of toblerone.a kid kneeling in front of the manager,asking for forgiveness,crying.put these 2 things together and you have a case of shoplifting.i "hanged out" with may mom today.we went to gateway for lunch and listened to hale's wonderful cd over & over again while we were in the car.we went to her office coz she had to get some reports,which meant that i have to stay in her office for about an hour or so.i know you're probably wondering how all of these is related to the first three sentences found at the beginning of this entry.you see,a kid shoplifted a facial wash and 2 pieces of candy while we were in my mom's office.he kneeled in front of the manager,pleading and crying.i couldn't help but feel bad for the kid.i know that it wasn't his intention to steal things but probably because he wanted it so badly,he couldn't control himself from taking something that is not his.point here is that,we often take the things we have for granted.we never seem to be contented with what we are blessed with.we always ask for something better,something much more grandiose than what we already have.i will not be a hypocrite and say that i have always been contented with what i have,i have those days too.but this incident somehow changed the way i view life.here i am, complaining about not having the latest stuff,while this kid went out of his way for 2 pieces of candy,which i'm sure all of us fail to appreciate.some would probably say that it is just a stupid candy,but this very candy actually means the whole world for someone.it means so much to him that he was willing to steal just to have a taste of it.in a way,i know GoD wants me,and the rest of us,to realize something.He wants us to be happy & contented with what He has given us.let's not disappoint Him.go & spread this message: BE HAPPY AND DO NOT FORGET TO THANK HIM FOR WHAT YOU HAVE!^_^
