In the grand scheme of things, do you really have anything that merits worrying about? Enjoy today. Tomorrow can wait. #quotes #quotestoliveby #quotesaboutlife #quotesdaily #quoteoftheday #advice #advicequotes #mindfulness #mindfullness #selflove #lifequotes
My hope is that we can better consider what it’s like to only get 3-4 hours of sleep a night, spend 1-2 hours a day with your kids, or walk 2 hours home alone in the dark with all your family’s cash. Empathy both helps us understand people different from us, and betters how we treat people we may never be able to relate to.
Street vendors are an integral part of these country’s economy and culture, yet are more frequently hindered than empowered by their environments. We may never truly get the reality of their current situation, but we can take the time to glimpse into their world.
What’s it like to sell produce when you can’t afford a city permit or to pay off the officials?

Imagine you just spent your family’s weekly earnings on twelve papayas at the wholesale market at 4am this morning on the other side of the city. Now you’re sitting on a flattened cardboard box from for the next 12 hours till 8pm in 110 degree weather without protection from the raging sun. The sewage boiling under the sidewalk increasingly seeps through the cracks and garbage pile growing behind you turns into a solar-powered diffuser by the end of the day. Forgot to mention you’ve got two other vendors selling papayas right next to you... The market price is constantly influx throughout the day and you’ve got to sell all twelve papayas at least at a 15% markup to put food on the table for your family tonight.
