Appreciate This.

A wise man asks a question to his group of students:

"If an alien from outer space were to ask you to describe the place in which you live, how would you describe it?"

One individual in the group responds:

"A rotating hell hole!"

A second individual interjects:

"A planet called earth."

A third individual replies:

"A place that is circular and rotates. Its made up of 90% water and the rest is dry land on which my human species lives and survives on."

The wise man answers to his group:

"None of these answers, from a non-factual viewpoint were wrong, however if your describing this place where we live to an alien, none of those answers would cover even a partial description.

We live in a place where we are moving twenty-four hours a day three hundred and sixty-five days a year, yet somehow it seems so still we can thread a needle while it is all occurring. This place is made up of seventy-five percent water, all of which originally has salt in it so we can not drink it, but somehow there is this thing that happens called precipitation which forms clouds in this place called the sky. The sky is so far above us no one person would ever be tall enough to reach however, clean water without salt, called rain, falls from there allowing us to drink it and survive. That rain falls on our twenty-five percent of land which we live on and feeds the plants and trees from which flavorful food grows out of providing us with meals twenty-four hours a day three hundred and sixty-five days a year. That food that we eat gives the people all the right nutrients so our nerves and functions can perform correctly, allowing us to have a baby, sing, and read all at once if we really wanted to.

I can imagine the alien would just look at you and say "bullshit!" There are so many aspects and miracles of our home that there would never be a reason not to appreciate everything that occurs for us on a daily basis. So no, this is no hell hole, it is a heavenly sent gift, however, the way you decide to enjoy that gift is solely up to you."

The students just looked at him in amazement because when you put it like that, how could a person be unappreciative.
