    I hope he does sleep well in the night, but the way he carries this loads and his neck posture tells me that he might develop some serious neck problems down the road, if he has not already had some, like pain in the neck which radiates down to his arms. It could damage his spinal cord too, resulting in paralysis of his arms and legs.
    The problem is as a society we have not reached to a point where we think about workplace safety and worker

    Carrying this much bricks is a common practice all around the Pakistan. Instead of developing pity sentiments for him, I feel proud of him. He has the strength and courage to work hard and believe me, at night he sleeps in peace. Contrarily, working in Air Conditioned offices with easiest of work to do, people can’t sleep even after taking sleeping pills.

    Further, there is no injustice done if he is paid as per his work. When people, despite of all his hard work, try cutting down his wages, is something awful.

    And tertiary , not all people can have same life. Some have to do physical work, others are good at mental activities. But a good “Zakat” system keeps the financial situation in equilibrium.

    This is Pakistan who puts up hard labor gets almost nothing but who does corruption even get rewarded.
    We need to think seriously why Pakistan came in to being, is it for making the entire population hostage in the hands of few bureaucrats, corrupt politicians and feudal s.
    Hope the younger generation can come forward and bring the much required change, hoping for a better tomorrow.

    Looking at this picture,
    -the first that comes to my mind is the different kind of life we have many of us.
    Some keep on like this young man for a life, a hard day in and out , just on and on and on and on and on and…….
    Others have a life in which they have others to work for them.

    We as Pakistanii`s may live in the same country, yet,
    we at time to time (or all time) seem like living on different planets.

    We just have to share our ressources in a just and fair manner, and we have to start that on an individually level,
    (it starts with me, how do I treat my neighbours my community my fellow countrymen and -women)
    for the sake of our future, for the sake of our Pakistan.

    -a humble Adam .
