A grey day it is on the 4th of November of 2021. At the pizzeria, I could not sit eating my pizza at my regular table just outside the window, as a crowd of fresh brown teenagers were eating pizza there. So, I sat inside by the window. I could see the hairy arms of one brown teenager at the table outside. I went then to the cafe to have my usual iced green tea. I saw a longtime Filipino friend named Alma, who worked before at a corner convenience store, but now is in health care.
The printer of my company broke down again, so I'm going to the convenience store to copy documents.
If humanity's material life becomes richer year by year, cakes become more and more elaborate, technology becomes more and more convenient, and at the same time, without earlier generations planting trees, later generations would not be able to enjoy their shade, then I am sure that the "rich" life must've been brought about by our industrious forefathers, those who were unafraid to taste the bitterness of hardship.
