a sea of people and a sea of garbage

There is a big news yesterday from UK. A Royal new born baby boy !
A sea of people waiting outside the palace to receive the news. "Why people are so fascinated by the Royals?" the question raised by American.

I was watching the online news with my colleagues, one of my senior said "I don't like this royal thing."

A thought, she has her point, there always 2 sides. When there is this baby whom we haven't seen his face yet. For no doubt, the ranked third baby boy will become heir to the throne.

The marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William is a fairy tale of many people. Now the baby, the story to be continue....

On the other side, there are people who are surviving, no food, no water, no shelter. Or case not that extreme, people who are underprivileged, their kids may not have beautiful clothes, colourful toys, cell phone, etc....all they can do is, after school, collecting cardboard boxes to exchange a very small amount of money. ( a case of primary school students in Hong Kong)

At the moment, this group of people pop up my mind, they are living at a sea of garbage. The landfill harmonic, the "Recycle Orchestra"
in Cateura, Paraguay. "The world sends us garbage, we send back the Music" By Favio Chavez, Orchestra Director.

Never pity ourselves, every one is a special individual. Never give up, every one is unique.

I am happy for the new born of the Royal baby, as well, I would never forget that there are human being who live in another world and they have very beautiful mind which is beyond clothing, outfit or background.

In fact, all our lives are connected and linked, through Arts, and garbage...
