2) What kind of message is this? It's like: "Eat your

Lessons which we can learn from the film.

 

First Lesson: You can't really have everything in

life. Some people may seem to have MOST of it but

NOT everything.

 

Second: Be grateful for all the things you have.

Do not compare your life with others. You don't

know the story behind theirs and what they are

going through.

 

Third: Sometimes, we tend to think that others

have it better than us, not realizing how much

more we are really blessed compared to them.

Love yourself. Make the most of it.”
