Going to the community and slums is not the sad thing that I thought it to be. The people have been very welcoming and are not so forsaken that they think it is going to be the end of the world. They are just divided between being hopeful and being skeptical of things. Nevertheless, I think that the former has more weight than the latter. They keep on living because they think that someday, somehow, they will achieve their happiness in life. However, this does not give them the leeway to do nothing. Hoping and doing nothing won't get anyone anywhere. I think opportunity plus action from their part is needed for them to achieve their goals. We do not simply wait for something to drop on our laps. We fight, we strive, we try harder, then we achieve.
A smiling heart is good but a working heart and mind is better.
