A Croat in Paris

Today I have come to a realization. As a Croatian day laborer once told me, "...ah, the more money you make, the more you spend. I would just like to work less."

The more money I make, the more massages I have to pay for; in order to heal my damaged body from all the work I had to do, to make all the money to buy all the massages.

*sigh* such is the circle of life.

This reminds me of a story on NPR..these people in India are born into a caste that washes other people laundry. They get the sheets, clothes, and pillow cases from all the hotels...bring them to the river.....wet them and beat them on the stones...pretty much all day ever day......they have been doing it for hundreds of years...each family..generation after generation...and now may lose their job because of Whirlpool coming to India.
