SHORT STORY A poor man was playing with his kids outside and his wife came up to him and kissed him and they all laughed happily; At that moment, a flashy car drove past them and in the car was a wealthy man, known for his opulence. The poor man smiled as the car passed and thought "I wish I was that rich." While back in the car, as the rich man's driver zoomed past the poor, the sight caught his attention and he sighed and thought "I wish I had that peace and such a lovely family." In the neighborhood also was an average man who lost his hands in an accident and who caught the sight of both the rich and the poor. He sighed deeply and mumbled "I wish I had hands to hug my family again and drive a car. Such is life: everyone is so busy wanting more and wishing they would get this and that, so much that we get caught up with our desires and forget to count our blessings and appreciate the things we already have. Look around, you are actually more blessed than you realize; be happy, you deserve it!
