How many of you realised that your feet has been with you for so long years without leaving you alone. When you’re in a football match, it is your feet which helps you to play. When you want to travel, your feet is there for you. When you are dancing, your feet supports you.
Imagine, if one day, you have lost your feet, what would happen? Imagine and visualise, who is the person in your house whom is similar to your feet. If one day, that person is not there for you, what wil happen?
When we care for our face, do we care for our feet? When we care about how good-looking we are, have we cared for how good-looking our feet are? Do we care how ugly or nice our feet are? Do we care how dirty or clean our feet are?
When we hurt our feet, it did not say anything but kept on supporting our body. Who is the person in your life who resembles this feet of yours, supporting you all the way without saying anything or complaining to you even if that person is in pain?
Think about it for a few minutes. There is a person beside you just like your feet. A person who supports you all the way, the person who gives you advice but never expects a compliment and the person who accepts pain that you gave.
Do appreciate that person just like you appreciate your face, your look and your facial expression because if that person is not around anymore, you may regret for not appreciating that person.
