Why you can trust SCMP

Do you ever complain about your life? The answer must be 'yes'. We always feel dissatisfied.

We grumble that we do not have the best. We are jealous of the rich. We think they are the luckiest people in the world.

But what about well-being? Well-being is having enough food to eat and a place to live. We are luckier than many people around the world. In Africa and remote areas on the mainland, people live in primitive huts and have little to eat. For them, having an education is only a dream.

We should treasure what we have. Any additional things are a gift from God. We are surrounded by comfort, health and happiness.

Living in a prosperous society, we should have a kind heart. In the past, we learned how to take. Now, it's time for us to learn how to give!
