“There Were No Paved Roads Here When I Was A Boy. We Had To Walk For 3 Days To Get To Places That Only

“There were no paved roads here when I was a boy. We had to walk for 3 days to get to places that only take 2 hours now. There was never any money for school. We had no wealth or property. Beginning at six years old, I cleaned dishes at a restaurant until 9 pm. Then I would go to sleep and start again. All my money went to my parents. I’d hear stories about cities and airplanes, but they seemed like fairy tales. I’d dream of visiting these places, but before I could get too far, I’d be hungry again. So I grew up thinking that the entire world was like our valley. I thought all children lived like me. Then one day when I turned 16, I had the opportunity to visit to the city of Gilgit. I couldn’t believe it. I saw a boy eating at a restaurant with his father. He was my age. He was wearing a school uniform. I broke down in tears.” (Hunza Valley, Pakistan)

A monster. Spinning, soundless, forgotten. It’s so close now. You see it just above you. Maybe, even, if you tried very hard, you could.. touch it. You reach up-

Read this article. Spread it around. And then point out to others that when you have your nose in a book, you are not being antisocial, and that the world would improve if they read too…
