This is the life of a poor man in Pakistan searching for gold in gutters. This govt and all the previous ones who could do nothing for common man and may all rich and their money burn to ashes who are still enjoying resources and luxuries when people are dying. What sort of people are we? What nation we belong to?

OMG! This is truly heart-rending! It'd be difficult to have my food without these images coming to mind..
I wonder how can people revel in luxuries when fellow human beings are suffering so badly!

Sad picture. Pakistan should emulate China's 'One Child Policy' esp. for the poor.

This picture is heart wrenching, but please do not wish everyone who is well to do ill. The ruling elite are a lot to blame, but you cant blame every trader, every businessman, every doctor, lawyer etc. Many of them come to the need of the poor, and many do not. We should elect good leaders next time, who work to create a proper social safety net for the poor.
