"From grace to grass"

"Good health is underated," we say, but we usually only remember to thank God once we've recovered and everything returns to normal. Sometimes we take things for granted and forget how fortunate we are, and it's interesting to note that people with various illnesses are more appreciative than people who are healthy. Of course, no one enjoys getting sick, but we should value our health, take good care of ourselves, and give thanks to God for it.

I'm sure this essay will take 30 minutes to read if I list many "grass to grace" stories. But I often wonder about people who go from "grace to grass," because it occurs frequently and few people have the opportunity to discuss it.

I've always imagined it because it's like saying someone with billions suddenly becomes penniless; it's extremely difficult because that person or family is accustomed to eating 5-course meals, living in large mansions, traveling, and having maids; they will undoubtedly struggle to adjust to their new status. That's why most people assume wealthy people are proud, but I don't believe some of them are because it's their lifestyle, that's how they live, they are used to the extravagant lifestyle so it might come off as being proud or showing off.

Another issue is that most people do not believe them or have lost faith in them; this does not necessarily apply to the wealthy people alone. There are times when you tell people you don't have the money for this or that, but they don't seem to believe you, why because they have always known you to be wealthy or seen where you live and how you act outside, so no matter how hard you try to explain it to them, they won't believe you, so you'll probably just keep to yourself. People like that have probably heard things like "But how will you tell me you can't afford this?"

I've seen videos of homeless people, and you know how some individuals just decide to help and transform them, and you'll notice in most cases they're well educated, and if you go into their tales, you'll see they were probably living comfortably before their stories changed.

Everyone has a story to tell; it just depends on which side of the story they are telling it from. You can always choose to rewrite your story; life may not always go as planned, but you can choose to write your own story from wherever you find yourself in life.

Thank you for reading.😊
