just another day

The other day when I got stuck in traffic, I rolled down the window to see a mother-daughter pair on the pavement, teaming up to remove and pack corn seeds out of the cob for sale in a bamboo basket.A really young mother maybe my age or even less with a 5 yr old daughter. The young lady was busy but the little girl with a doll in her hand uninterested and lost in her own world, dropped a bagful on the ground.The mother went berserk and started beating the girl..the little girl's mistake cost them the price of the packet of seeds..that loss would probably mean losing a meal. I'm sure the girl will learn the real value of the green paper very soon as both of them got busy with their work again this even before the roads got cleared off the traffic.

Makes me wonder, while  there are people desperately trying to just continue living only to fill their stomach there are also people who have luxurious lives,leading an exuberant life..why this division?? Moreover it is the latter kind that finds trouble and complain about the most unreasonable things in life. Real life->
   
Yes all this makes me wonder, changes nothing.
