Re-alignment

Someone related that 'happiness is a matter of choice - of the options we have'.
I thought hard about it.

One can choose to complain about things till the cows come home and not be happy with it, or one can choose to ignore it - and life goes on..

That's about the line 'making the best of what one has'.
Only that, as a human being, one tends to compare and wish to have what one doesn't have. While those who have it may either not know they have it or simply take things for granted. How lucky for them or are they?

Then, there's the question :
'Why cant i have what the others have?'
I am not asking for the extras - i am just wishing for the basic.
I just want to be loved, want to feel protected, want to belong..
Is that asking too much?

It makes me sad as i have chosen to question what i don't have.
...
Perhaps i should focus on what I have and life goes on.

Perhaps I should work harder on the faith that we all belong to Him, Maha Pengasih, Maha Penyayang.
That - He is the Protector
That - to Him we belong and
That - to Him we shall return.

Ya Rabb, bless me the strength. You know best.
