Up above, the city lights glow but down below in the heart of the city, so much more lies. It's streets are filled with people constantly in motion, children with no shoes begging for money, mothers selling cigarettes to put food in their families mouths... the sight could make even Him cry. But there's another side to it, the children with no toys, no home, and no bed beyond the cardboard they lie on at night, find ways to play and smile and laugh amongst each other. They play tag and find reasons to smile for being alive. Seeing this opens my eyes to what the world really is, how contained I am in my little world where we become more and more spoiled yet always expect more. It tells me to feel happy for all the life I've lived and how good I've had it. I'll think about this all as I look down below in he heart of the city.
"So smile and be happy for you are alive."
