Makes one think

A friend of mine posted this taxi-driver's blog on FB. He has a Phd from stanford, recently lost his job as a scientist researcher, and couldn't find another job... He finally had to turn to driving a taxi to make ends meet.

Reading it makes one think, and reflect on how sheltered I have been. The people that we do not meet, the blessed life we've had compared to some others... How humbling is must be for him to lower himself to such a low level, experiencing for himself how it feels to be treated like the 'lowest life-form'. I do indeed feel that that is how some people treat cabbies, maids, cleaners etc like... like they are not worth anything... little do they know what their family background is like... don't belittle the next cabbie u meet. He may be better educated than you!!!
