Someone else is happy with less than what you have

in #palnet6 years ago (edited)

This kind of stuff is what the internet was made for.

This put a smile on my face. We humans tend to take everything we have in our life for granted, and this makes it even harder for many of us to achieve true happiness. The little things make life beautiful, and it's always a better approach to stay focused on what you actually have.

Your health is your wealth, and as long as you're in good health, everything can be achieved. Even if that's not the case with whatever might be bothering you, you can always just let it be and keep moving on. I am no better; I tend to find reasons to feel miserable, mad or depressed, but when I stumble upon something like this video below, I feel truly blessed (I also feel like slapping myself in the face).

This man witnessed color for the first time at the age of 66.

And this priceless moment was caught on camera. Vertically.

Do you ever take the time to realize how blessed you are?

It's now or never. Never forget to feel gratitude for the little things that you have. Because the things we take for granted someone else is praying for. I bet all the money in the world couldn't buy him the excitement and happiness he experienced when he saw color for the first time in his entire life. I hope this short message will make your day a little bit better.

So, are you happy?

Thanks for passing by and reading.
See you around.

Sort:  

What kind of glasses are those that he's able to see colors?

Enchroma glasses; they basically cut out specific wavelengths of the spectrum, thus enabling them to distinguish different colors.

Do they make him able to see the exact same colors as us or just some?

Not absolutely sure about that, but I think they can see the exact same colors as us.

Yay, born to achieve. xD

I really had to cry, how I saw that, how I saw his feelings and his joy. It's really wonderful how today you can heal people or make things possible. Thank you so much for the heartbreaking video.
Nevertheless I am not completely happy, it can still burden some things. Maybe, because it was the fly, that disturbed my sleep, haha? No, no.
