Reflection: Now let us redefine our problems and compare our life with above cases:
- 1980,1992:Some people don't even have enough foods and drink.Have you not eaten for one week..or maybe just for three to four days?
- 1965: Some people live in fears and have to get away from them everytime! Do you have fear of someone or something that makes you running every single time??
- 1963: Some people were being tortured and their freedom was very limited that they can't even breath! Do you have very very limited freedom??
- 1968: Some people don't even do the mistakes but they were being punished with a death sentence! Do people blame you on some mistakes and they want to shoot you right away??
- 1975: Some people don't even know that their life ended up right after they came out from a danger. Do you have the same feeling that you will have problems for your entire life?
- 2001: Some people don't even live for weeks or months and they could not even know the bittersweet of life. Do you think that God gives you chances to live for nothing??
