That's not true. Whether we like it or not, there are countries that are really poor, that's why the poverty rate is high. People there aren't lazy; they're working hard to survive. They just lack opportunities to improve their lives, often because of a lack of education caused by poor government programs.

That's why people always talk about electing leaders they trust to change things by boosting the economy. Look at Africa and other countries with high poverty rates, you can't call them lazy when even women are working hard just to get by.

Why not take a cart? Why mutilate yourself?

Because they can't afford a cart, even though they are hardworking, they are simply unfortunate to be living in a poor country where corruption is likely high. I’m sure they know that a cart would make their work easier, but since they don’t have the financial means to buy one, they have no choice but to do things manually, the hard way. We can’t blame them, and we should never think they are lazy. They are not lacking in effort, just in opportunities.
