I saw this old man peddling I don't know what last Saturday. I passed him just like that, I think he was resting there. When I got home and looked at the picture, he reminded me of pictures in old books, in an age when this was the way some people used to sell their goods, back in the early 1900's. I wish I had bought something from him now. He's not a beggar, he is actually working for a living. He must have been in his 70's. But maybe younger. Life is not easy on you when you are poor in this country.

Misery breaks my heart, especially in Lebanon where money prevails on human dignity.
