I've never seen something more truthful.

I came across this today, and the validity of every statement is astonishing.


How are you going to know....

What a dream is...if you've never completed one.
What an adventure is...if you've never undertook one.
What anguish is...if you've never told your family and friends "see you soon" with your eyes full of tears.
What desperation is...if you've never arrived in a place, alone, without understanding anything the others were saying.
What it means to miss someone...if you've never been away from home.
What diversity is...if you've never shared a roof with people from all over the world.
What tolerance is...if you've never had to get used to something different, even if you didn't like it.
What independence is...if you've never had to make decisions for yourself.
What it means to grow...if you never quit being a child to start your life in a new direction.
What disability is...if you've never had the to urge to hug someone, but the computer screen got in your way.
What distance is...if you've never looked at a map and said "Wow, I'm far".
What a language is...if you've never had to learn one to make friends.
What patriotism is...if you've never shouted "I love Canada", while holding a flag in hand.
What true reality is...if you've never had the opportunity to see many different ones and you can create your own.
What an opportunity is...if you've never taken advantage of one.
What pride is...if you never felt it for yourself when you realize everything you've accomplished.
What it means to seize the moment...if you've never seen how fast time passes.
What a friend is...if circumstances never taught you which ones are real.
What a family is...if you've never had one that supported you unconditionally, regardless of your whereabouts.
What your boundaries are...if you've never passed them to see what lies beyond.
What money is...if you've never had to manage it to get by.
What imagination is...if you've never thought about the moment you get back home.
What the world is...if you've never been an exchange student.
