Today when I got out going to my private office I saw a young man working hardly to break a big rock. He was a labor working for construction of a house, and sweat was running from his face head and forehead. There was sign of blood on his leg, meaning he was injured during the work. I was thinking with myself, that doing so hard job under the burning sun, how much he would be paid. And then I thought about my own. I spent all my day in a cool room, on comfortable sofa and behind a computer. I had delicious dinner, and hot tea. When I was coming out cleaner had brushed my shoes nicely. I looked myself in the mirror if dressed ok. Doing relatively comfortable job I get good pay. The young man working outside was also a human being, he was working harder than me under the burning sun with empty stomach, and the cash he receives could not be compared with mine. Why is that? Is it justice? Maybe I will say I get paid for the profession I have, I am a doctor!!!??? But can it be a good reason??? I was talking about the same story some months ago with my director; he also did not have a good reason. He laughed at me and said “Well, I don’t know. The guard and the cooks are working harder than me. I am sitting behind a computer relaxed, and I still get good pay. I don’t know if that is right, but I like my salary” But still I don’t have a good logic for this discrepancy. What I know is “I don’t want to be paid the same as that hard working young man was paid.” If you have any logic for this please write in comments.
