Lucky

Was watching the latest season of The Celebrity Apprentice, when the words of a kid, who was part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, just absolutely stunned me.

Celebrity:
What do you wanna be when you grow up?

Kid:
Don't know. I haven't thought about it.

For those who are unaware of this organization, it is basically a network of volunteers who serve children with life-threatening medical conditions, may it be in the form of granting wishes, fund raising etc. 

At that spur of a moment, the words felt so heart-wrenching. And it just hit me once again, how lucky I am. How lucky the majority of us are. And more so, how ungrateful most of us are, by ranting and whining about the little-est bit of uneasiness and bumps we encounter in our life, when there are people out there ... kids out there .... who don't even know if they will live to see tomorrow.
