Every morning while driving out the apartment compound, there would be a group of labourers attending the morning briefing near the hall. I couldn't miss catching a few glimpse while passing by. They are probably working at the nearby construction site.
Nothing special but that reminds me of starting of another working day.
On my way back today (Sunday), I saw again these labourers, mostly were females, mothers with their children walking out the compound, probably had finished their work at 5pm. They were bringing with them a few bags of foods which they bought nearby.
What amazes me is the smile on their faces. Mothers and kids, as if I could hear them saying, let's go home son, we are gonna cook a big meal tonight. The kids were tagging behind happily. That just hit my head. Some people can be so easily contented with life. While we are striving for the neverending desires and demands, these people are just so contented with what they have. These are the strong women, whom I admire. Never a word of complaint, and they are working in the field like any other guys, just to feed their family.
Who says women cannot be strong. They are strong when they want to. While others merely shouting for gender equality, the irony is that some women tend to put equality on certain issues but not on others, ie physical work, etc. Irony isn't it?
I am glad that within this harsh cold world, I still could find such a warm picturesque scene so near. Their smile is simply contagious!
