It's so easy..

When you are young, it's so easy to forget that one day you will be all old. You walk with absolutely no difficulty, you can run and jump, you can do everything. It is so easy to forget that one day you will bend to a walking stick, you will be walking slower than a snail, and won't be able to jump.

When you are in love, it's so easy to forget that people can be heartbroken and the pain broken hearts experience. You pick up girls from anywhere, or you have several boys on your case all wanting a share of you, it is so easy to forget that someone out there has never tasted the sweetness of true love.

When you are happy, it's so easy to forget that some time you will be sad. Your life seems to be filled with almost everything you want, you have a career of your dreams, a dream car and a lovely family, its so easy to forget that someone's life out there is filled with so much emptiness, struggling to make ends meet, having no definitive career, no car and their family is breaking down. It is so easy to forget that.

When you are looking nice with a smooth texture of your skin, it's so easy to forget that one day you will be all wrinkly.

When you have money and all the luxuries you need, it's so easy to forget that one day you didn't have any of that, and that one day you may not have it at all. It's also easy to forget that there's someone out there who has absolutely nothing.

When you are eating the best meals and sipping on the finest drinks, bread with butter and milk on  breakfast, nice fried beef on lunch, it's so easy to forget that someone out there somewhere has nothing to eat, and has spent days without a decent meal.

When you are easily admitted in the best university in your country, or the university of your choice, it is easy to forget that millions and millions of people out there don't know how to write their names, because they never got the privilege of stepping in school. Not because they never wanted to, but because they just couldn't.

When you are still in someone's favour, it's so easy to forget how unfairly they treat others. When you get all the pampering, the love and goodness, it's so easy to forget the hate and injustice inflicted on others. But what if that favour runs out?

When you are alive, it is easy to forget that one day you will die, be gone and never to come back.
