how lucky are we


Was watching some series and they were talking about handicap people who have no choice of perfection, because they were born with such features.

Some of my friends, once reached 21, have already started shouting ' I am OLD........' or people started losing their hair and think 'WHY am I so UNLUCKY to have such losing-hair-genes'... No matter how UNLUCKY we were (stepping on shyte, pouring when you do not have a umbrella, pimples bloom, etc.etc), we are not as unlucky as those who could not survive after 6months from birth. Those who are slightly luckier than the blue baby, will face their life with uncountable discrimination...

How good can it be, with a biological clock ran faster than Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell (fastest sprinter) and when he/she is in teen, the face already looked like an old lady/man - Progeria Syndrome...How good can it be, with extra chromosome 21 which causes you to look like a Mongolian and be mentally retarded - Down/Mongolian Syndrome. Someone I know has Down Syndrome. He is the same age as me, but he could never go to normal school, don't ever think of University...Now all he does is sit at home and play around the house. The worse part is that his family members are the one who are being discriminated...That is endless burden to the family members, both from the public and himself...

Having a good, perfect 10 fingers and toes is a bless. Look at those who has Lobster claw Syndrome. How can they type as fast as we could? Asian always complaining they are short, short short. But what about the Dwarf people? They are small size but do you know their organs are the same size as us? Only the bones are small....This means when the organs grow, they will have a hell of a time...Unbearable pain from the inside...

Maybe they have done something wrong in their past life? Not enough good deeds for the uncountable Karma? Maybe Jesus was testing the faith for Him? Maybe Lord Krishna was around? Whether is the God's fault or not, these syndromes are the real test for life. People have yet fully accept the handicaps and discrimination is high in every corner. Having people staring at your hands or face because they are different, is not a good encounters. Some where even orphans, so deformed that the parent just turn them back to the hospital....

Having such a good features with us, what more are we asking for? Please be grateful and don't think and look inside the box. When you are suffering, there were heaps more enduring the unbearable suffers...Be Grateful
