I always loved the Ber months. I love that certain feeling of excitement and cozy ambiance everywhere knowing that Christmas is just around the corner.
But this world is not perfect.
This is also the time of the year that my heart breaks for certain reason...
Whenever I see girls and boys and even newborn babies wearing almost nothing, holding those tiny envelopes, accompanied by their parents to beg for money on a cold weather, sniffing and with eyes as cold as the weather itself, I can't help but get mad to their irresponsible parents for forcing them to work at their tender age while those parents are at the prime of their lives, strong enough to work to feed their families, but sad to say, they eat their meal by the sweat of their poor children.
I live in a third world country and so I know how hard it is for common people to get by for the day. It is a hard work and stressful hours every given day to earn a decent amount to live your life... Being poor is not a sin especially in a third world country, but for Christ sake! If you cannot even afford yourself a decent meal then don't populate this world with kids you cannot even take care of. And to make them labor in the first place, just for you to eat a meal is a crime. It is a crime to steal... And child labor is stealing from a child his innocence.
Sad to think that there are a lot of good and responsible couples who are wanting a child but can't have one while these irresponsible people have that gift but refusing to take the responsibilities.
What a monster they are!!!
If only this world is a better place.
But it is not.
