as i stroll down the streets on a warm evening last week, i pass by on a family who are sleeping on corner of the street. what is more shocking is to see their offspring rolling near the road without clothes on. it often wonders me on how they survive such harsh condition. the head of that family has no work and only makes a living by asking for alms. had they go home to their province they wouldn't experience such horrible life.

Whenever i see this kind of family, i feel pity and at the same time rage. Pity because they are in a very pitiful situation but rage for the parents. I am angry for the parents for not controlling themselves to have children which they can't take care of. I am angry at them for not just returning to their province and there maybe they can have a better life.

yeah me too. although the city has a lot of opportunity, it is always better to just return to where they came from to start anew. what i am concern most is the health of their children. i myself can even stand to sleep in a cold night with no roofs and the cold pavement for a bed lest alone their children with no clothes to protect them. :(
