What makes a better person better?
What makes a better person better?
This question keeps reverberating on my head for a million, trillion..no gazillion of times.
Can it be measured with the financial status that one has in life?
Or
the countless profit that one makes out his business?
What if....
a person earns lesser than others
would it mean that he is a lesser person?
Then what makes a better person better?
Is it measured by the number of friends that one person has?
or the physical beauty and charm that one possessess?
Can it be measured with the level of talent and intelligent?
How about if...
a person has insurmountable amount of money,fame and power,
would it mean he is having a good life above the rest?
My resolve is this;
Always bloom where you are planted.
Make the best out of what God has given to you.
We are here for a mission not for a job.
Follow righteousness because it will always lead you to happiness.
Life has made you special, you remain special just for being you.
Contentment and peace of mind is priceless!
About this poem
There was a time in my life that I suffered from severe depression. I started to question my self worth. For several times, I had caught myself in series of emotional breakdowns. Then, one day to release the pain of worthlessness, I scribbled this free verse poem. Something I could look back with, after I'm done dealing with uncertainties in life.
