I was nurtured in a great environment
Therefore I tried to tell the whole world
Justice is the most important thing
Any other thing is just some thing extra
I failed to notice that there are thing more important than justice.
I met a man.
A man who travelled thousands of miles away from his home in order to earn a living. Born in a place with corrupted politics, he was forced to abandon his family, leaving his wife craving for the love of a husband, his sons lack of the care of a father, and his daughters without a hero that protects them from the reality. He wandered here to another less corrupted country. With a family of six to feed, with only the wage of less than half a bread per day, I tried to be courteous offering to give him more after a long day work for me, but I was being denied as he said he only takes what he deserves. A man with such backgrounds still possesses the will of preserving his pure dignity. The man loves wealth, but earns it in a righteous way.
This country have a different way of treating foreign workers, as though they aren’t as worthy of living as the locals. I object. The locals are the people who shall be despised. Who dares to say that they have the noble will of rejecting the temptation of money? The quality of man can be easily measured through thus. People who have lived in comfort for such a long time will start to forget how to live as a man should. The basic principals of living is to live up to what you should be, no what you can be.
