Poverty clearly is everywhere. That one incident was eight years ago, but it was new for me and somehow sad that in a first world country which is wealthy such is tolerated, or seen as natural, or whatever.

I acknowledge that the world is huge dung heap, yet we have the luxury of sitting at the top on a big stage from which we can see the sun and the blue sky, which is generally excepted as being quite nice, so nobody peaks down from the edge to see the s*** steaming down below.
