perspective check!


This structure that you see is the engine room of a radio transmission tower, it also home to a family 5. Click on this picture for a larger view and you will notice that this is their kitchen. This right at the foot of the stairs that lead up to my apartment. All of their cooking is done on an open fire and one of these vessels contain their drinking water. there is no bathroom. When ever i come in or out the children run over to me to try out their few words of English, They have the most beautiful smiles and seem to be always happy. We all tend to complain that we dont have enough money or possessions. We are all rich in comparison to this family. It just kind of puts things is perspective. How much do we really need to be happy?

Funny thing is they have, in abundance, what you need to be happy.
