This will be a very short post about a funny random thought.
I walked past a private estate today, a short cut to my destination. Dogs were barking while I strolled past, I wasn’t too concern about the dogs as long as they don’t exploit any openings which allow them to dash out and pounce on me.
Then, I was next to this house, I saw a maid “ushering” her boss out of the house with his briefcase, shortly after that the boss drive off in his luxury sedan. A thought struck me. One of those rare occasions when I felt “enlightened” suddenly.
I was thinking….
That boss went off to work and most probably long hours to earn a good income to maintain his house. Is that the owner of a company or one of those senior managers? Whichever way, he slogs to pay for his private house.
That maid stays in the same house, slogs for 10 hours a day (maybe) but she doesn’t need to pay for the private house she is staying. She is paid to stay there.
Who is more fortunate? The boss who pays to live in a bungalow or the maid who doesn’t need to pay a single cent to stay there?
A frivolous post.
