Yes Bangkok is a city of contradictions and life is often brought about by extremes and radical ignorance. I’ve noticed that despite the wealth and knowledge of society, there’s very little motivation to change, that growth is a comatose element of Bangkok.
Elitism has grown fat from the ignorance and fear of a complacent society, not really caring about inspiring others to make those changes.
I was near a shopping mall, and saw a child begging on the street, surrounded by an army of shoppers and young people. No one took notice of the beggar boy, no one cares, after all the child is dirty, uneducated and poor. After all, he is, like many, a multicoloured contradiction to empathy.
if the people were buddhist understood annica and annata they would see themselves in the child and the child in them. too bad thailand is not a buddhist country
