We have been extracted from the womb of our mothers not knowing a thing, we have been made hearing, vision and intelect that perhaps we may be grateful... I mentioned 3 major things here 1. hearing 2. vision and 3. intelect. Hearing helps us to learn from things that we hear to the extend that when we were growing up listening to surroundings helped us conquered the languages.
With the languages we learned so many other knlowledge which would have been impossible had we not have hearing. With vision, we can see and identify everything around us, we learn from what we see and build our skills and ability with the help of vision that we were given. The intelectual completes the basic need in human development. With hearing, vision and intelect, we developed and matured as time passed by. We are now able to further enhance our ability to hear, see and think to the extend that we are able to sit in the classroom, hear and see the lessons taught by the lecturers or teachers and make sense out of so many complex and sophisticated things that are presented to us.
We are able to make sense out of things, learn Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, and unlimited other knowledge that we would not have been able to master, except with difficulties to ourselves. This is what hearing, vision and intelect do to us as human being. With this -- what is it that we are suppose do? Simple -- Be grateful! How? -- read on;
I have been amazed with some of the most common things that people take for granted. Take for example the seeds from the fruits you eat. Next time when you pick up an apple or pear, bite it and take the seed out, stare at it, look at it carefully and think -- how it is created?
I knew for sure that it wasn't there before but somehow rather, the tree produced the fruit with the seeds in there! When you think that it wasn't there before but you hold it, touch it and feel it now as it is now in your possession, you will be amazed at this little creation. Look again at the seed. See how perfectly it was built -- perfect in every aspect – the shape, the look, and most importantly the content! You might not be able to see much in terms of the content.
However, if you think over it carefully, the content must be very intelligent such that the apple seed can actually produces apple tree with defined type of trunk, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, meat, seeds, skin, and you name it -- everything apple! Consider this -- it uses the same water, soil, carbon dioxide, light, etc as other seeds but why is that different seeds produce different trees? How? The seeds must have some built in intelligence that we are not aware of and most of us take it for granted! So one level of being grateful is to acknowledge all these great creations that we see, touch and experience every single second we live.
Another thing that I want to point out is the fact that the seeds are later produce more seeds. One unique attribute of this creation is the fact that it repeats itself! If you think carefully and try to ponder on this simple statement, you will soon realize that what we human never ever to achieve is to create something which repeat itself. Wouldn’t it be very handy if we could produce a car that after some time produced another car! So be grateful and use your hearing, vision and intellect to ponder over these great creations. Next time, every time you pick up a glass of water, look at it first and think what a great creation it is and think how much other living things are depending on it -- every living thing is made out of water!
