Took for granted.... basically this video is why I chose my title. Sometimes you are so engrossed in your own life that you do not think about the world, the bigger picture. Everyone is hit with socioeconomic hardships especially now...but then you think about those who were already way beneath the poverty level. Brings me back to how blessed I am...

This episode, "Toughest place to be a Bus Driver" is from a show on the BBC. It's about a bus driver in London going to the Philippines to drive a Jeepney, but while he's there he learns about all the socioeconomic imbalance and overpopulation they face. You should watch all parts when you have time. My fav parts are Part 3 to 6, especially 3 since they talk about the lack of contraceptives and sexual health education in the Philippines.
