OMG Saji- I never saw the show, but I am horrified just from the trailer alone.

It’s a real eye opener. It also shows us how distorted our sense of reality becomes. I personally am guilty of complaining too often when things get a little tough by saying “why me?” or “why do we/our children have to suffer so many problems/issues/hardships?”, but this is a reminder that many of us have more to be grateful for than we think, and that we need to focus our energies on helping those who are truly in need rather than complaining about our smaller/insignificant issues.

Thank you for allowing me to see how ungrateful we/I can be. I’ll try to remember this the next time I personally feel like life is tough. Our children/families/friends have no suffering in comparison to this.

Thayyiba, thank you for letting me know about Restavec. And not to worry if it’s not light summer reading – just what I need, actually!
Noha, cbc radio always delivers…I guess it was a buried news story for me as I was buried under wrap-up-the-school-year stuff and only got to read the newspapers a few times and was surprised to see that this story was so deep into the front section.
Manas, let’s hope we move beyond just “being sorry” for others. Thanks for the link.

Just look at the AJE channel and you’ll find plenty of people to be sorry for!
