My Ungrateful Life
Millions at work for me for my life
Humans, animals, birds, bees, eggs,fish, insects, trees and plants
Farm produce, animal food, milk, oil, honey, aqua food and fruits
All for my best of living and comforts
One more day sanctioned to breathe prana the life-giving force
I consume with no gratitude
I am ashamed for mine is an ungrateful life

i am nature
in the nature
the soul and the spirit
are in me
not out there
i obey the soul
through the gift of dreams
whose author is the soul itself

Well I talking about this body and how it consumes everything that is in nature, as if all is meant for him.
You speak of the soul which is not connected to the body.
The soul is there that is why is the body, it is just a vehicle.

When we die
body dies

Thank you for your response
The living
want to live
pass along
i am time
for a short time
the goal is death
the soul is in front of me
the soul is after me
the origin of all life
during the time
in our everyday life
we must
if we only
simple people are
work hard
so that we
remain survivable
many people
especially children
die today
every second
starving to death
i am my mother

This is a beautiful post! Many people say there is nothing to be grateful for. The world 🌎 is full of problems, a dystopia full of fears and impending doom. 😰 Your blog post debunks that with a powerful attitude of gratitude! 🙏

Thanks Dave. The problems in this world are mainly because we do not show our gratitude to what we have got from nature or from any person. If that attitude changes then the World will be good place.

I just learned that 40% of the food goes in the trash. It is a shame. To me this is a no-go. In case there are leftovers, they are wrapped and stored for later. But I know that the awareness of this has been rising. By being vegetarian, I want to honor our animal friends and their gifts for us.

Erika your comment I feel is half do complete it, I understand your busy schedule and you have to comment on do many blogs.
Just imagine the people deprived of what we have, I mean in so many countries and refugee camps. I was astonished that you are a veggie. Good Yaa.
My mother was a leftover specialist, next day the same would be turned into a totally different dish much tastier than the previous. Blessings and Hugs

It is a shame, a bit shame, that even doesn’t meet the core of the tragedy, that food and water are a priviledge to have. And many don’t even notice how gifted they are. Let’s do our part as good as we can!

Yes as it is in abundance and can be bought by money. My illustrations are always to make clear my feelings and writings.
They are real gifts, thinking of those who are deprived of, they are available to see in so many countries and refugee camps.
On a personal note your commenting has been more elaborative and to the point of what it should be. Congrats. Previously it was just a word or a sentence. Take it as a compliment.

Wonderful sharing. We nourish our body by adopting different methods, eating rich diet, take fresh air for our sustenance etc but spend very little time for the benefit of our soul or spirit. Meaning, we just exhaust our energy from the ingested food on impermanent things but spend very little little for our SELF.
