i would like to share with you a poem that i found at inspirationpeak.com:

Precious Gifts
Author Unknown


Yesterday a butterfly
Came floating gently through the sky.
He soared up through the atmosphere
Then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, "I'd love to fly with you
And sail around the way you do.
It looks like it would be such fun
To fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.
I haven't wings, just these two arms.
I've been designed to walk around.
My human feet must touch the ground.

Then magically he spoke to me
and told me what his wish would be.

He said, "What I'd love most to do
Is walk upon God's Earth with you,
To squish its mud between my toes
Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around
With human feet to touch the ground,
But I have not two legs that swing,
I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways
In wonder and surprise.
For we'd both seen God's precious gifts
Through someone else's eyes.

---------------------------------------

we all know everyone is hard to please.
nobody can be really content with their lives, we always want something,
something we strive hard to reach or buy if it's a material thing.
contentment. what does it really mean?
does it mean if we're happy, we're already contented?
no. that's why we're not perfect.
we always want something, and we're never content with what we have.
if we could only see God's precious gifts like what the butterfly and the human did,
all of us can really understand the meaning of life.

carpe diem! :)
