If you have NEVER ...

If you have never been away from home, you might not appreciate a home sweet home. If you have never been alone, perhaps you don't qute know what loneliness could bring at times. If you have not cried before, you would never long for a comforting shoulder.

If you have never lost a loved one, you may not appreciate the pain of losing one. If you have never lost a good friend, you might not understand what good friendship really means.

If you have never been sick, you would probably take good health for granted. If you have never been poor or lived in poverty before, you would never appreciate how poor people live their lives and how devastating it could be. If you have never been sleepless, you might simply think that a good restful sleep is a given and wonder why some people have to take sleeping pills.

If you have never been through chaos and turmoils, you might simply take peace and stability for granted. If you have never encountered failures and challenges in life, you might not grow in faith and confidence. If you have never tasted the bitterness of life, you might not appreciate the sweetness of things.

If you have never used the well or kerosene lamps before, you would never appreciate the convenience of modern living. If you have never lived in a place or walked through a street that is pitch dark at night, you would never appreciate the existence of street lights and the convenience of having electricity wired to your house.

If you have never been rejected, you would never understand how worthless one could feel. If you have never been accused, criticised or wronged, you would never understand how painful it can be when hurt. If you have never been humiliated, you would not feel on top of the world when you are respected.
