Was
watching a ‘reality show’ where the program captured the life of the
unfortunate people in Indonesia
Yesterday
was about an old man who lived with his wife and a middle school age daughter.
The old man main job is extracting rubber from the wild trees in the jungle.
Everyday he needs to walk a total of 5 km to reach the middle of the jungle (10
km return ways) where trees that have become his main source of living exist.
The rubber
can only be sold if he has collected 1 kg or above. He needs a week to collect
a kilo weight rubber. Do you know how much it is sold? IDR60,000/kg. I could
not imagine how can they survive with a total of IDR240,000 a month for a 3
persons household?
Sometimes,
we spend IDR 60,000 for a meal; while some people like them need to survive for
a week with the same amount of money, again a 3 person’s household! L
Have we
thanked our life?
