viewWhen we were kids, my mom told us to watch the bike in front of the market so she could go inside to buy meat and vegetables. It was always very boring and dirty so I assigned all my memories about local markets with a desperate feeling. Never went to one when I lived in HCM city.
But I like to shop around markets lately. There is Vinh Hai market nearby. Certainly doesn't have the best smell and nice music in the background, but you can buy chicken and fish at cheaper prices and much better quality than in supermarkets. Lots of fruits too.

Then you go on to lecture they need to go to therapy to be emotionally available. Obviously happy people don’t spend their precious free time to talk more about jobs. Or you can say that it describes people around you. Which begs the question how do you manage to surround yourselves with the kind of people that you can’t develop a slightest empathy for? But that would be your own problem than what reality actually is.
viewBut how can I improve myself if I don’t read news daily and let well-informed journalists tell me how to view society?
