every cent

"I really hate the people here. They piss me off often. Everyday, they just annoy me in any way."

Girly stated this as she was talking to her friend during their day off in Spain. She's been working in a government office in the country for about 3 years already.

Whenever she goes out and hangs out with friends, there is no other word in her mouth than 'I dislike the people here.' Whether in the park, in a get-together, or in a party with her friends. She is intensely against the people around her.

For those working abroad, we should realize that we get every cent of our salary from the citizens of the country where we work. Especially for those working in a public office, the people's money is the money we receive every pay day. 

Instead of cursing them or talking bad about them, we should thank them for they are our bread-and-butter. If it is not for their taxes or if they don't exist, we cannot have a job in their place. On a large scale, we owe our wealth to them. Instead of lifting ourselves thinking that we are more intelligent, wiser, or finer than them, be nice to them. Instead of thinking that we are better in our jobs compared to them, we should always think that we are just the same. For all of us working, we have the same jobs, just different functions. We may differ in culture, race, color, and principles, we are the same human beings. Treat them benevolently even in  our roughest times with them. Love them whenever possible. It is simple as that.
