Germany learns from the poor

Germans hang food and clothes for others

 

[GLOBAL ECONOMIC TIMES]  I learned all about Korea's highways, forestation, and recycling separation in Germany. When German people come to Korea and are surprised, they like it when they say, “Korea developed like this using your country as a model.” I usually look deeply into Germany. Germans don't have a sense of humor, so it's not funny, but they don't feel grumpy. First of all, think rationally and be practical.

Plastic bags containing food were hung up there for those in need. It's about being considerate and taking pride in yourself. Let someone who needs it naturally take it and eat it. Many Koreans donate three or four boxes of ramen or two bags of rice to poor communities and take more than 200 photos. When he goes to a slum, he wears a flashy tie, drives a Mercedes-Benz car, and delivers about 100 briquettes. After that, advertise yourself.

I have seen many people who went to Babfor(free meal service) volunteer service and boasted of living a life of service by only carrying a few trays of food, and I also saw many people who created an organization called volunteering and then when they met, their lives were just about eating and playing. If you see people without sincerity or consideration, you don't want to be close to them, so you don't go to such gatherings. A truly advanced country comes from the German people.
