The great injustice that needs to be resolved

Many thoughts, questions. to be dealt with.
These ideas, the world to him seemed vile, everything was vile,
the proccesses, self sustaining circle of wealth creation.
These seemed frivolous to him, such an industry,
"I cannot comprehend working and placing importance in one", he says.
How can we? When importance is in the deprived.
How vile.
How superfluous,
in this never ending cycle of self made meaning.

He was a levin, he said to himself.
No, no he wanted to be one better.
He never understood these processess, thought them to be redundant,
surely there must be a necessity,
if not why do they exist?
The self fulfilling industries that is.

Somehow everything seems banking on selfishness.
If not why do we too, not give right now?
Give all, give more? Shame momentarily fills his thoughts.
Why stay wrapped up in this self conceited luxury?
Sure its not opulent living,
but most certainly, there's something holding us back.
The same thing that holds all the others back.
All the millions of the more fortunate ones.

Injustice is vile.
The knowledge and restraint is vile.
The creation of the industry is superfluous.
The response, to this injustice needs to be sorted out now. Within this year.
For fear that we too, become like one of the many.
Lost, selfish, ignorant,apathetic and claiming innocence to our depraved ways.
I can already feel it happening, this sense of loss to response.
Needs to be answered to.

A weekend of high import oriented consumerism

Father and daughter. The result of street photography and people watching in the small congested roads of Hong Kong. I did'nt get many good shots, just managed to snap these few while my cousins looked around the tiny stalls. Standing and waiting for a scene like this was fun:) Although this was all i got in a span of two days. haha the rest are quite nonsense.

Feeding my, "HK should have many dingy dark alleys amidst the modern setting" bias. I bet i could get the same shot in singapore.lol

The shopkeeper infront of me looks on.




And of course, these fellars are always fun to be with. I have the most trendy relatives.And, i should start taking photos in landscape. Heh but right now...hans feels stressed.
