Chapter 134 - 132
"I am just trying to say that we should all learn to be humble and show humility wherever we are. What we see are the results that someone achieves after a period of hard work. We tend to ignore the roots and where everything started from. And that’s where we will lose it."
"Just because we can buy branded clothes from malls and all big shops, we flaunt what we have, forgetting that it might be that person that we look down on so much that made that piece of clothing for us."
"Nobles tend to look down on countryside folks, peasants, the commoners and anyone that isn’t rich. But have they ever thought that for them to be nobles, it was exactly those people that made them like that?"
"Everything that the nobles eat in their food as they look down on the commoners all came from the commoners. We eat grains planted and harvested by farmers. And yet we are disgusted by them simply because they spent their majority of time in the fields and sweating."
"They are mostly darker than us, and don’t have smooth skin like us, but is that their fault? They wake up early in the morning and rest late at night. They are concerned about the crops every second of the day. And who are they farming for? Isn’t all for everyone to eat and have their fill?"
"If there weren’t any farmers right now, would we even be eating our fill? I doubt that, but we are simply too ignorant of many things and it just hurts to think about it."
"We always flaunt our riches, mock the commoners on how they don’t know how to appreciate the good food, whether seafood, white or red meat. But have we all forgotten that it’s our fishermen who we always mock that they stink of fish that are making it possible for us to enjoy abalone, clams and those wonderful salmon or tuna?"
"The laborers are busy using their hands to work hard to build, repair and do whatever is required of them. And yet we don’t appreciate it. Instead, we frown whenever we see someone wearing an overall."
"So, what if they are making more money for us? Does it mean that we should act all pompous and look down on them? Who gave us the right to do so? Just as much as they want something from us, which is our money and other benefits that we can give them, we do want them more."
"Hehe, if they weren’t there to slave their life away for us, do you think that we would have all this money to spend and waste like that?" Diamond helplessly chuckled as she said.
"Every single thing you see in life is serving a purpose in life. Just like how ants are important and so are people. Beggars might look bad, but aren’t they clearing the trash for us in some ways?"
