Unappreciated

I have been quite vocal all week about being disgruntled - mostly due to something that I have to face with from 8:30 to 5 on days from Monday to Friday. The feeling of unappreciated for my integrity and expectation to deliver on my promises and to fulfil my responsibilities go unrewarded. I was starting to feel like a monkey punching away at the keyboard at times while alternating with the feeling of a robot with no creativity or feeling or sense of self. Well, that was not the issue that I was struggling with - it is the unfairness of the whole scene that got under my skin - as if I was clawed from inside out with deep scratches. I was getting that annoying feeling again - the one where the universe is turning against me once again - the one that I feel so confuse and lost without a fundamental belief to grasp on.

Then, I caught something on tv about child slavery which makes all that negative feelings go away. Of course I feel extremely sad for these children who were sold to slavery by their families for a mere few dollars. Children who barely understand how life is supposed to be were taken away from their families - young children who worked very hard just to be fed and sheltered (with no luxury at all) - I wonder how these children view the world and universe - survival. Watching the story about these children made me realize how lucky I am - how lucky to have freedom to see, to taste, to feel, to think, to listen, and to experience many things in the universe. For all that, I am thankful.
