Can I ask you a question? How much do you value your Opportunity of Life? Maya Angelou (1928 – 2014), an American writer and actress, once made this profound statement:
“There were people who went to sleep last night, poor and rich and white and black, but they will never wake again. And those dead folks would give anything at all for just five minutes of this weather or ten minutes of plowing. So you watch yourself about complaining.”
You may have decided to sit in your little corner and complain, “See my friends are traveling, having good jobs, building nice homes and buying nice cars. See my friends are graduating from university with good degrees; some are even starting their own businesses.” But I urge you with all my heart to sign out from Facebook and go take a look at your other group of friends who have made the hospital their home because they are suffering from HIV/AIDS. I suggest you also log in to the Ghettos and take a look at your other friends who have been enslaved by drugs and alcohol because they are so frustrated by the challenges of life? Have you checked up those in the prisons too? Can’t you look at your other group of friends who are now in the grave and in the mortuary?
You can appreciate life or be frustrated about life based on the kind of friends you choose to focus on. You can choose to login on Facebook and compare your life to others’ and feel sad about your own story or go down to the graveyard and give God His glory for your life. Let me tell you the truth: there’s something far bigger about your LIFE than getting a LIKE on Facebook.
