a sad news .. a lesson

i was a bit sad today.... was thinking why it has to be like this. in that mood i read a message from someone unknown , abt a news article.. reading this got tears to my eyes. there is soo much pain in this world , so many problems in the world... my sadness is nothing in front of the pain ppl go through... i am lucky to be what i am and still i am thankless and saddened by my stupidities.

this news article is abt a suicide by a single 28 yr old man in pak. He was an icecream vendor selling icecreams on his bicycle .. the only one taking care of his family ..the wasiyat (last will) he left behind is saddening and the words he wrote for his family and sister got tears to my eyes .
