I want you to know

Son, daughter,

I want you to know there are hungers everywhere all over the world and every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger (thinkquest.org 2011). I want you not to waste food and think twice before you throw away any food waste. I want you to try to farm and cook on your own and try not to be picky for food. I want you to not to take everything for grant because everything has to pay for it. The question is by whom. I want you to know there are always better to give than to receive. I want you to know there are other creatures in this planet. Earth is not for mankind only. I want you to know that we have been living under varieties of switches for decades that we no longer evolve on our survival skills. Just imagine someday there are no more oil, electricity, water supply and gas for fire. I want you to know that we might think that we are smarter than 100 years ago, but we are not. The modern civilization has brought us nothing but more illnesses, hungers, severe weathers, crimes, conflicts, wars and closest to our own extinction. I want you to know everything has a start will also has an end. I want you to know that the best way to learn is to share. I want you to know that we don't own anything in this world. Everything we just borrow it for a life only. I want you to know that even I can fish for you, but I whether to teach you how to fish instead. At last, I want to share is what one of my professor told me once and I had never forgotten. “You need knowledge to survive and intelligence to be rich, but only wisdom can give you happiness.”

Sincerely,

Papa
