Poverty in a Modern Society

16 04 2008

When I wrote this post, I met a mother who asked me to give her some helps. She said that she and her child had walked from Lembang. She wanted to go to Leuwi Panjang. She asked me what is the public transportation which will carry them. I didn’t care she lied or not (I think yes!). I gave her some money transportation, as I did before with the same reason. I think it was a classic trick. A human is forced to lied because of hunger.

Under the fly over of Pasupati Bandung, I shotted some photos. Maybe they are very sensitive, but they are real. They are surrounding us!

When I see pictures like these, I see I have nothing to complain about. I’m not struggling for survival to the extent these people are. My needs are not basic. I have a roof over my head and food on the table. I may not like whom I live with but my struggle is not to the extent that I have to beg on the streets for my existance.
