That day, while passing by the footover bridge near us, I suddenly stopped. A very old man is sitting in a corner amidst the heat of the sun and the crowd of busy people. His body is bent with age, but his enthusiasm has not diminished at all. He is sitting there, running a small business selling glasses and children's things. With a white beard, glasses, a white lungi and a light-colored fatwa, he looks extraordinarily struggling in ordinary clothes.
I felt very happy to see this picture of hard work. At this age, when people are supposed to be comfortable, perhaps depending on their family, he is still struggling to stand on his own feet and earn a halal livelihood. This is not just a struggle to survive, but it is a story of self-respect and defeat. His relentless work reminds us that no work is small, and the income obtained through hard work is the most sacred.
In fact, these are the real heroes of society. No artificial glamour of society could consume them, rather they shine in the light of honesty and hard work. This simple life struggle of his is a great inspiration for us. We often break down when we face a little danger, but looking at him, a deep respect for life arises. Let us show respect for the work of these people and stand by them even by buying something small. Respect and love for them.
