self destruction

i am, truly grateful,
for everything that god has blessed me with.

sometimes i think i am overly blessed.
sometimes even thou i know, it's not a lot...
but i know, i am fortunate enough,
more often than not, sometimes, more than others.

and for that, i remind myself, to be content.
and be grateful.

then, there's that sometimes,
when i see some people...
who went thru certain hardship...
trying, struggling...

i am sincerely amazed with their determination.
their effort...
but the moment they succeed...
... the moment they change...
i immediately see them self destruct.
and that is, a very very pitiful sight to endure.

i thank god, that i am not that kind of being.
and i hope that i will always stay near, the ground.

in life, no matter how high you go,
without support,
gravity will pull you down.

and the higher you go,
the worst your fall becomes,
when the support isn't so... stable.

learn to be content.
was one of the few things,
my dad reminded me,
taught me.

and for that, i am eternally grateful.
for such an invaluable insight of life.

because, greed is one of the easiest sin,
that would lead, to self destruction.
