I come across with a construction worker in his early 60s with a filled mug noontime. I saw him earlier with a mug he just finished. A coffee lover me from afar praised him for having two cups already and i didn't even have my cup of joe at that time. I told my colleague who is the supervisor of that man how lucky he (the worker) was for already having two cups. The supervisor told me that it was not a coffee but a free soup from a carenderia. Further telling me a story how that some workers will survive their day meals with a packed rice and that free soup. These workers earning maybe a minimum wage wont even spend a proper meal for themselves but sacrificing for their love ones. I'm sure their wives and childrens does not knew this sacrifice.
