I had to work late today, and so I was there when the cleaning person came to the office....
He is an Egyptian... one of those workers who had to leave Egypt and come to Jordan in hopes of finding a job..I guess its similar to the story of Mexicans in the US.
I always feel embarrased .. and ashamed ... that there is this man who looks tired.. and wearing his drabby clothes... who politely asks for permission to enter the office to empty the garbage can....
I feel bad................. all the trash I have been throwing in it all day...the gum.. the oily plastic bag where my sandwich used to be... a bananna peel.... or even the smelly containers of chinese food I had to order today because I was late at work.... big mess... big pile of trash he has to see... and handle.... and maybe get some gooo no his hands.................. and I AM responsible for it.... this is my trash....
maybe not many people think about this... but I do... its a very humbeling thought....
Why is it that I was blessed with a good desk job... in a nice office... alhamdullilah.. while he has a job he obviously hates... and has to handle the trash which I toss aside like an arrogant fool.....
I really feel bad for them... some had never had enough education to enable him to get a better job.... and some are very simple.. that even if they have had an opportunity for education.. they wouldnt have advanced much in it...
that kind of feeling... reminded me of something I posted once on a Board...... in an answer to someone who was complaining about her life....
I will post it next...... maybe it will help others.. by reading about my own failings
