calamity

as i was sitting in my room relaxing..my view came upon an old book of mine,an interesting book that i have not read in a long time,a phrase that get me thinking for awhile :)


من شاف مصيبة غيره هانت عليه مصيبته

more or less it means : "He who sees the calamity of others find his bearable"

we use to frown and put ourself away from others, being depress about almost all the misfortunate things that happen to us....at times thinking that why does it have to be this way,why does it happen to me..forgetting that misfortunate things happen to everyone some are more bearable than ours,some are more worst and unbearable compared to ours, yet we failed to see how "comparatively lucky" we are, whenever something misfortunate happen we should know that there are others that suffer more than what we are suffering...be thankful be grateful we should, that we are test with much lighter and bearable misfortunate events...may it be more than just a word in our daily life.


ps : to those who are able to correct me on the wrong translation of the saying is most welcome :D
