When I see my parents who've been stripped of their joy of being with grand kids and kids
When I see beggars on the road whose arms and feet are literally rotten
When I meet young widows who are forced to become the sole bread winners of the family without any education
When I meet young men and women who don't have a privileged life as I have
When I meet people who in spite of their toil and sweat can't make ends meet
When I meet little kids who sell mickey mouse stickers in a heavy traffic road for a mere 15 cents.
When I see everyday survival that is brutally honest, all I can say is "God show me the purpose why I live in a far away country, why I live a comfortable life, why I seem to crave for bigger and better things when there are so many around me who can't even survive; Give me a heart that is content with what I have but is hungry and burdened for the needy"
As I grow older, every India trip is becoming more and more bittersweet!
