Maybe we need to compare ourselves with the 97% who are grinding everyday just for their basic necessities and not just compare with our cousins and relatives who have a) ansisteral properties or b) taken bribes or some other commission or tax envasion endeavors.
People are struggling , let me rephrase that, dying, in Nepal right now if they dont have inheritence and tey to make it honestly.
When we visit Nepal we should try to see, like put effort consciously to see, the beggars, the street sellers, the renters who rent from locals in ktm , the restaurant workers and anyone who is trying to make it without selling their land or just trying to survive with honest work.
I met several waiter and wettress in Nepal going school in the moring and working 15 hrs a day hoping one day they too can make it in life. I also met a lady in her 50s chased by nagarpalika at 3 am while trying to sell some cigarettes and chewing tobacco in a nanglo in thamel. Also met one guy who travels from banepa to sell some stuff on tthe side of durbarmaeg and changes 3 buses everyday to do back and forth. And so on and so forth
The question here is: are they not Nepali citizens? Are we really gonna gnore ignore these people and say Nepali ppl have money just looking at our cousins and relatives? Are we suffering from the first world problems now?
