That, and a lot of hard work

It is a great happiness to live in a country where, for hard work, a person is adequately rewarded. And who can afford nice things.

You mentioned, there are parts of the world where a man can barely feed himself and his family with his hard work.
That man dreams that he has things that we throw away as "old", when we buy "new", which we really don't need, because the old ones are just fine.

I have a colleague who took wardrobe, mobile phones and tablets to an African country that we separated here for recycling.
The children (and their parents) were happy when they received tablets and mobile phones over 5 years old this year.

And we are thinking, I have an iPhone 16 Pro, should I take the orange or the dark iPhone 17 Pro...
