The Wish
A young woman was admiring a lady dressed very elegantly sitting in a coffee shop.
“I bet she comes from a wealthy family and has a rich husband so she can afford sitting in the coffee shop every morning getting her breakfast served. I have to make breakfast for the whole family every morning, the kids are quarreling, my husband earns just enough money so we can survive, my grandmother needs to be served, I wish I could be her!”
Suddenly everything around her was spinning, she felt like something was pulling her away from the place she was standing into the sky. For a moment she lost consciousness and when she woke up, she realized that she had turned into the elegant lady! “Wow” she said, “My wish came true!” She ordered a big breakfast with all the delicious things she ever wanted. However, somehow she could not really enjoy it, there was an odd feeling inside of her. All over sudden a well dressed driver came to her and asked : “Madam, are you ready to get back home?” “Yes, '' she said, happy to get back home.
After a 10 minutes drive they arrived home. It was a beautiful big mansion, so she entered the door, eager to see kids and husband but there was an awful silence in the house. She could not find anybody so she asked the driver: “Where has everyone gone, my kids, my husband, my grandmother?”
“Madam, you have been living here all alone for a very long time. You used to have a big family, that’s what you told me one day, but then one day you just left, you thought they were too much. However, a few years ago you were lucky to win the lottery and get a lot of money but you never went back to your family to see them and share your fortune. I heard your husband married again and is happy but still makes only enough money to survive but the kids help, they all love each other and happily care for your grandmother.”

Personal experience Let's me sign this as truth
Always be grateful for the things you have in your life. They’re yours to cherish and they make life unbelievable better. Sometimes comparing ourselves to others only makes the hardships look worse, but only when we take our eyes off others do we truly appreciate what we have in our lives. Love.
@amiablePeace77 we are more likely to see what others have but forget to realise what they might have sacrificed to have it. is it really worth having something for which you have to let several other things go? is the question one may need to ask.

What a good response❤️, I love your answer.
@scarletPear1945 thank you 😊
We really don’t know anyone else’s story. They might wish they were us. People you love and happiness and contentment matter more than things money can buy. How we treat others matters most
