When I walked, I saw people with their BMW car then I asked to God,
"Why am I not one of them?"
When I saw people can buy expensive house with price about 1 billion rupiah, I'm questioning the same thing to God,
"Why am I not one of them?"
When I looked my friends after graduate working in various companies with appealing salary,
but I engaged with seven years contract, I'm asking again,
"Why am I not one of them?"
When I asked, God kept silence until He showed me what I've never been thinking of before.
Yesterday, I went shopping with me friends. We went to ITC Mango Two, one of complete shopping center in crowded city Jakarta. We went by public vehicles for we don't have any private vehicle; Maybe someday we will have it :P
Along the way, I saw many beggars and homeless persons. When I saw them, I thought of something. I had never asked God why I am not one of them.
When I saw them who don't have legs, I thanked God for the two legs I have.
When I saw homeless persons who slept under the bridge, I thanked God for a little room I can rent monthly.
When I saw them who jobless, I thanked God I don't have to search a job for seven years... hahaha...
Then I remember this quote (if you see a glass not full filled with water):
"Instead of looking half of glass empty, try to look half of glass filled."
"Why am I not one of them?"

Hi Rulyna, I didn't know you have a blog!
I do agree we have to feel fortunate for what we have.
But feeling a need for 'something higher' is not a sin, more like an ambition that keeps us alive.
Perhaps sometimes we just can't differ between ambition and greed.
