Grateful - bersyukur, is something I lack of recently. 10 years back, I thought bersyukur is an easy thing to do, and wonder why adults didn't.
It is not easy, at least for me, to feel bersyukur, dengan ikhlas. I don't know if I'm alone, but I don't think so. Mendengar orang-orang bercerita, I think I'm not alone.
Why don't we feel grateful?
Because maybe, the grass is always greener in the neighbor's lawn. This is sifat-sifat aku yang I failed to ignore.

I remember a friend, upon hearing a story about coffee & cup and everyone else replied that the moral of the story is we have to feel grateful of what we have and focus on the most important things in life; he didn't approve.
Instead, he argued that if we have option and chance to grab both good "cup" and good "coffee", why don't we? Why stop and thinks this is all I worth and feel grateful?
True indeed. Why ?
*nantikan sambungan jap lagi, tak pun esok..
Ok sorry for the delay.
Back to the topic, and rephrasing it; Is it ok to feel grateful, when u haven't got the best out of everything? Like having good coffee in an expensive pretty cup.
Or, actually we need to feel grateful for what has been designated for us is what's the best for us?
Hmmm.. susahkan?
Not indeed. After a few unsuccessful attempts of continuing this entry, I realize that we should all be grateful for what has been granted to us.
And that doesn't mean we should stop striving for the best.
If the analogy is still the cup & coffee story, be thankful for the cup you're currently using, and the coffee u're sipping. Sip it to the last drop, and take good care of the cup.
And, do not forget to find better coffee, with a better cup.
Back to basic, eh?
