Perspective of Life

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the
countryside with the express purpose of showing him how poor people
live.They spent a couple of days and nights on the
farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his
son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father
asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?"
asked the father.
The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our
garden and they have a creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they
have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have
the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they
have fields that go

beyond our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve
others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us,
they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me
how poor we are."

It's the different perspective that the young boy hav look the life of the 2 family dat makes you wonder why we all just worrying about what we don't have,instead of thanking god for everything we have...

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
