THIS NEW YEAR, WILL YOU BE STARVING YOURSELF TO A PERFECT FIGURE? LIFE CAN BE SUCH A PARADOX.




My friend,

Do sit back and think "third world".

Then you can really envisage thousands of impoverished people literally dying of starvation.

Think "modern times" and you get a totally different picture.

Most everyone who aspire to look "gorgeous" are going on quickie, quackie yo-yo diets to stave off the unwanted pounds.

LIFE can be such a PARADOX.

We've food, glorious food spread across our tables, fine clothes over our bodies to keep us warm, a steadfast roof over our heads, no less.

Yet we're still mooning and moaning.

To be thin is to be beautiful, right?

Yes, if you want your life to hang on a limbo.

Do we spare a thought for the millions out there who ain't just as lucky, deprived of edible food?

Probably not, because we often take things for granted and are too busy indulging in our self-interests.

Take these GRIM facts:

  • In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, over 500 million people are living in absolute poverty.

  • Annually, an estimate of 15 million children will die of hunger

  • For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children can eat lunch every day for 5 years.

  • One-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving.

    We are living in a world of paradoxes.

    Things are seldom as they appear.

    We witness events or encounter evidence that doesn't make sense, or that seems contradictory, ugly or painful.

    Think fit and don't toy with health.

    COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS TODAY..

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
