Selamat Pagi, Bali!: The People Series
December 4th, 2010 by Farah
most of the balinese lead very hard lives. they don’t live grandly. they can’t afford to. most of them are busy chasing to meet even the most of their basic needs like for example, earning enough to put food on their tables. i sense alot of sadness in them, in particular, the rice farmers. these farmers, i feel, have it the hardest. they have to wait 3 months to get paid, after the whole harvesting is done. most of their time is spent in the excrutiating heat, far away from the main city centre. alot of time is wasted, waiting for the days to pass before the next time they get paid.
is this all they really live for? imagine what their lives would be if they lived in a world of more opportunities.
