How do you imagine living in a third world country?
Where are you from? Are you from a developed country? or maybe, just like me, you live
in what the humanity has come to call "third world country".
If you are privileged enough to live in a first world country, maybe you don't realize how trivial or unimportant are the things you complain about, because you are used to high standards of living.
Your internet suddenly slowed down for a moment? well, the other day
I saw how some guys killed a man with ak-47 because he was unable to pay them the "cuota", money that they demand to small business's owners.
So, yeah, violence is a real thing here. So, whenever you're mad because your coffee is too hot to drink it, just remember, there are places where everyday could be the last day.
