The girl and the moon

Once upon a time, there was a girl who loves to see the moon. The moon always shines so bright that it light this girl night. Everyday, she would wait for the moon to show. One day, the moon disappeared. The girl was so sad that she looked everywhere but cannot find the moon. She cried... the next day, the moon still won't come back and so the other day. The girl was so sad that she cried badly until one day, when she opened her eyes, she saw only darkness. The next night, the moon emerged to light the night, but the agony is, the girl cannot see the moon anymore... even the moon is lighting her night, she still in the darkness because, she forget, it’s not the moon who makes her night bright, it was her eyes who allowed her to see a brighter night…

Sometime, we forget what we had and what we want. The girl, she wants the moon but she forgets that she had the eyes to see the moon. Because of that, she had wasted her eyes for the moon that wasn’t hers. This is us. We want everything but we never appreciate anything that was ours. Why? Because it always there. Because we had used to it that we forget how valuable it is.
