£80 million man: Ronaldo off to Madrid
VS
13-year-old Liyakot Ali works in a silver cooking pot factory in Old Dhaka. The children work 10 hour days in hazardous conditions, for a weekly wage of 200 taka (3 USD). Dhaka. Bangladesh. June 2008
You be the judge. Not putting any hatred to Christiano Ronaldo. In fact he has nothing to do with this issue. What difference do you see within the former picture and latter picture? I see mankinds' cruel perception of human value. Christiano Ronaldo would not be what he is if not for the sole appreciation attention of his skills. We put value to his skills but not to the child's labour work. Would a silver cooking pot or footballer's skill put us in a better state? Money is what you think is worth, or might just be a piece of paper. Things are wrong in this world yet we sit in silence because everyone is afraid of change. We put too much value on things which shows no material value at all. A corporate figure sitting in the office earns more than a labourer in the factory, but who is using more energy to work? Labourer or corporate manager? Our failures is our own doing. We are failures in valuing the world.
