Can pay your fees
45,000
Can fulfil your dreams
45,000
To live with ease
45,000
Oh God please
45,000
Lend me a loan
45,000
Worth more than my home
45,000
To beg or steal
45,000
Willing to kill
45,000
Don’t you cry
45,000
Mummy will try
45,000
I’ll sell my soul
45,000
I love you so
45,000
To pay your fees
45,000
Oh what is this?
45,000
For a road accident
45,000
This life be damned

Wow, such a tragedy. The old cowboy saying, “your money or your life” reminds me of this woman who died because she thought her son would have money for school. Even if true, her life is so much more than money. So very sad. In her desperation, she gave up life. Poor woman and son. It was all for nought. 😥⭐️💫🌳

Holy shit, Frank. Really well said. If Rosaliene hadn’t told me this happened in India, I’d have assumed it happened in the US. There must be a better way.

Frank, you’ve described so well in terse terms the tragedy of our lives. Here, a mother sacrifices her life so that her son would have the chance of a better future than hers as a cleaner in an office building. In India, where the tragedy took place, as in the USA, inequality is stark.

Life is inherently unfair. Some people have it all while most have very little.

My immediate reactions is a mother’s life should have no price tag. It will forever stay in the mind of the son what she did for him to go to college.
