Rp 50.000

What does a Rp 50.000, - bill mean to you??

For most of us, it might be a quite small amount to spend daily, mostly for meals, or snacks, or gas for our bikes/cars. Some of us maybe even use it for going to the cinema, and still not enough.. In other occasion, we even need a lot more than that to dine in a fancy cafe or restaurant.

For an old man, who's still trying to sell newspaper at 8 in the evening to anyone he met, with such a desperate and tired face, that amount means a lot, yes a lot. That is the amount he need to buy medicines for his severely ill son.

What i'm trying to say is that for many of us, i'm sure, Rp 50.000,- is an insignificant amount. Its already fly away from our purse without us even realizing it. But for some people out there, who might be not as lucky as we are, this amount sometimes means a lot to them, and i believe many times we forget about it. We spend so many time mostly complaining about what we don't have, or about our job, or basically about anything that don't meet our expectation, that we forget to be grateful of what we already have. We easily forget that there are many people who don't even have things that we're complaining about.

All of us need to be reminded once in a while.
