Dear Hive friends,
I am looking through the windows and it is snowing, but I won’t be writing about snow much. Anyway, when I am thinking that some people don’t even know snow, have never throw a snowball or build a snowman, I am awe of how happy I can be that I live in the place where we have four seasons. But thinking deeper, how grateful can I be, to live in a place where we have tap water, which is drinkable on the top, to have proper roof above our heads, to live in the World where we can take advantage of technology, to have opportunity to prove ourselves and build a career, to guarantee our families a well suited life. If we go even deeper, food is a factor and we can not imagine to starve to death, so food is also not self-evident. Usually we just press the button and our house or car gets warm, others don’t even know how car looks like. I could go like that for hours, till snow won’t stop, but let it be enough for today.
I can’t tell that I am speaking from experiences, as I haven’t live in that kind of environment, but I visited people who do. Trying to talk with them and get to know them, their culture and the way they live. Sure, that is impossible to get a clear picture in only few travels like that, but it is enough to feel it and start to appreciate some things a bit more.
At the end, I would like to highlight one thing, not only that these people have less, but they have more in some ways. You can not describe that… It is some combination of modesty, simplicity and joy. As I wrote, you can not describe it, you have to experience it!
Let me introduce these guys of which I was talking about. They are all coming from Ethiopia and belongs to several tribes;
