I feel sad every time I see these kids passing by us. They do not know if their clothes are muddy, if many see them, they do not make the viewer feel that they are tired because every time they look at you they smile at you as if they are just playing.
I am amazed at their diligence but sadly because at their young age they are already experiencing that. At that young age, they should just play, enjoy childhood, have no problems, and just have fun. But we cannot blame them for doing so because if they do not, they will starve to death.
They were born poor. Grow up on the farm. Sometimes even before the sun rises, they walk to the farm and take advantage of the time before the sun goes down.
But usually, when the sun is up, they are still exposed to the farm, bathed in sweat, and thirsty. They are buffaloes but they still have less to spend on a daily basis. At an early age, they experienced extreme fatigue. Tired as if there was no replacement.
I can say that it is not a joke to farm - to bend all day, to stretch one's bones, to rely on the rain while the pockets of water are drying up (expensive crude oil), while there is no more money to pay because the debt has already been paid off, at the hospital a family member and school fell ill; their planter of capitalists; only those at the top can afford it because of their ability to control the price of agricultural products; to be a mirror of diligence, but ultimately still a reflection of poverty.
But many have been successful in life even though their life back then was from a farming family. If they make an inspiration in their lives, the hardships they have experienced, one day nothing will be impossible and they will also be a success as a professional that many will admire.
We have pity on such children but let us not judge them first because we do not know what they are experiencing every day inside their house, which is difficult for them. No one wants their life to be like that but they were born because that is how their parents live. We do not know that they will be successful one day.
So, you are lucky if you did not experience it when you were young.

Do not be ashamed but let everyone know that this is "how you lived then and I am now".
Thank you💞💞!
Proud to say that i was raised partly as a farmer. Land is the heart and soul of our family. Our advantage is having a land we can toil. Every weekend we focus on our plants, our crops. There were many unfortunate farmers who tended to other's farms and were almost paid nothing. But i think time has changed, farmers are and owners are both coming into terms that one cannot live without the other. Our country needs to drive more projects involving our agriculture and our farmers.
