This photo shows a genuine smile of someone who feels contented and happy from earning 5 to 10 pesos with every purchase of his products.
The kind of happiness that most of the rich/privileged people won't understand, because to them, these are just small amounts but for the ones struggling financially, these are big enough for them to be grateful.
The situation we are facing now is really hard for everyone, especially for the people who earns from going/staying/selling outside.
It's been 5 months but I still see a lot of "PrIvIl3g3d" people who can't even understand the situation that their fellowmen are facing. Some of those rich/privileged people don't even try to understand how it feels to live a life the hard way.
We don't have to know to understand. We don't have to be in their shoes to understand. What we need are empathy, compassion and sensitivity to understand and accept that life became more difficult for the lower class.
During this pandemic, I've seen a lot of posts from some of these "pRiViLeGeD" people telling others that they worked hard for the privilege they have... Do you think those who are at the lowest class are not working hard enough to make a living?
Yes, everyone is affected by the crisis we are experiencing but still, it's not a good reason to look down on someone. If you can't help, if you are not willing to help, or if you cannot say or do anything good for others, better shut your mouth. Check your privilege and don't be entitled too much. Don't speak ill about a situation you can't even understand. You cannot see the trouble because you're living so comfortable inside your bubble.
But what if that bubble suddenly popped? That's the only time you will be concerned? This article is for the rich people who are too insensitive enough when it comes to their words. And I also want you guys to ask yourself if you really are understanding and considerate enough.
I also want to remind everyone to pease, STAY SAFE. Observe proper #SocialDistancing, always #Sanitize and don't forget that when going outdoors, #MaskIsAMust 😷
Let's build a bright and lovely world for ourselves, for our future kids and for all the people who needs it.
