A Barefoot to Herat.

I am one self-centered bitch?

Yes. I am.

A barefoot to Herat is a documentary of how the Afghans are living in misery in the cold harsh dessert. A short interview with a young boy, who i shall say is about 10, hit me in the head how luxurious my life is. I may not be rich...But i have a very comfortable life. Too comfortable to even whine and complain. And yet, I still do.

The boy, who has no parents, have to beg for food everymorning and afternoon to support his grand mother and one younger brother and a sister.It was cold, and he walked around barefooted across the dessert to find bushes to keep the tent warm. He couldn't find any bushes because his feet were freezing...The poor boy, looks amazingly good looking. His life, at only 10 is much harsher than any of us here right now reading this. During the interview, he couldn't help but shed a tear or two... He used his oversized and flithy sweater to wipe it off.

I love watching documentaries like such, because more often than not, we forget all the luxuries that we have and are greedy for things we don't even need. I think more shows lke this should be aired in Malaysia...not for the politics, but to remind us that we should all be thankful for our peaceful and luxurious country.
