An Australian in India - Culture Shock resolution

How could I be angry with the person who wakes me up at six,

When all they're doing is pumping water to bathe in.

 

How could I be angry about the smoke pouring into my living room,

When the person is just cooking their lunch by the only means they can.

 

How could I be angry with all of the noise of loudspeakers all over the town,

When I know that most people aren't able to read advertisements.

 

How could I be angry with the salesmen knocking on my door,

When I know that many women are not able to leave their house.

 

How could I be angry with the slow and eratic traffic,

When people are just getting around on the only thing available to them

 

How could I be angry with children who cross the road in front of my car,

When I know they were never taught how to cross safely.

 

How could I be angry with people living,

When they're just surviving the only way they can.
