Knowing just how many lengths people go to make ends meet can be a real eye-opener.
Take for instance, the unexpected story that unfolded last night, as told by a Facebook netizen Daniel, which is a potent reminder of the silent struggles in our midst.
He’s been tracking your meal delivery for the past hour, his hunger growing as the minutes tick by.
Daniel had ordered his meal from Ampang, anticipating a quick dash to Bukit Bintang.
‘Rider’ was actually walking to deliver his order
What he didn’t anticipate was that his delivery rider wasn’t actually a rider – he was walking the whole way.
He was taken aback to learn that the delivery person was making the journey on foot, sparking a moment of realisation: “The hustle is indeed real.”
The original caption paints a humbling story: “Last night’s story. Was about to complain about the slow food delivery, taking over an hour from Ampang to Bukit Bintang. Turns out, this Foodpanda delivery person is a walker. The struggle is indeed real, my friends. May prosperity be upon us all.”
It’s a simple story about how hard some work for their living, and a reminder to be kind, because you never know what someone’s going through.
