LIFE: a jAuntY JauNt

In this post of mine i would like to explicate the title to all my friends who are reading this and especially those of us who cavil about every second visible thing and find conditions intractable are advised to have a look at some facts(source:jainy & swaraj ofcourse) mentioned below:


"If we have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep we are richer than 75% of this world. "If we have money in The bank, in our wallet, and spare change in a dish, we are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

" And if we are reading this on our own computer, we are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

Also .....

"If we woke up this morning with more health than illness ..... We are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

"If we have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or The pangs of starvation .. we are ahead of 700 million people in the world..

"If we are not the victims of any of the tragedies like the Godhra inferno, the 9/11, the tsunami catastrophe, the Kosi inundation, the 26/11 ... we are luckier than our country mates who lost their world..

"If we can attend a church/temple/mosque/gurudwara meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death we are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.

Friends today I, besides knowing the importance of the word "IMPORTANCE", realize the importance of every least important thing in my life and expect all my friends to do the same coz that's where and when you all will enjoy the JAUNT called life because then there won't be any reason for which we should not feel jaunty.

So, here i end this post by thanking god for whatever he has given me.
