Sometimes we forget how lucky we are. Sometimes we look at the glass as half empty rather than half full, forgetting that there are millions out there whose glasses are always empty.

While dropping Entrecards the other night, I stumbled on a site called Hot Topics. In its post entitled "The Truth About Life", I found riveting photos depicting the plight of many children today.
It is a powerful photo essay reminding its readers how luckier they are than most, and why we should be thankful for what we have. How many times in the past have we complained about having nothing to wear, how our internet connection is busted, how the AC was not working, how the food we ate was cold. These are all insignificant and trivial considering that millions are struggling to find food to eat even for just once a day!

Two of the first photos in the series are posted above, and the rest can be found here. Visit the site, please. I would even recommend that you show the pictures to your children so that they too will learn. (Photos courtesy of http://tohottoresist.blogspot.com/)
