ஜெகதீசன் கந்தசாமி

Today
before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak...
Before
you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat..
Before
you complain about your husband or wife -
Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD/HP for a companion.

Today
before you complain about life -
Think of someone who went too early to heaven..
Before
whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks
the same distance with their feet.
And when
you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the
unemployed, the disabled,
and those who wish they had your job.
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and think:
you're alive and still around..
