different realities, one world
earthPal writes
On fasting and starvation
It reminds me again,
we all live on the same planet, but it could well be different realities.
The worlds needn’t be classified as third or n-th or whatever
The realities doesn’t have to be oceans apart.
It can be next door.
Earthie, today
you bring me back a lot of memories.
I will say one thing, poverty doesn’t make anyone inferior.
Been through it, know how it feels, but we valued life, valued humanity no less.
We held onto our pride and dignity, we helped each other
not having was never an excuse for avoiding sacrifices
never relied on charities or on handouts,
we worked, we survived, we still do.
We live to better ourselves.
Memories
Childhood
life
poverty
dignity

Absolutely. Wise words as always.
