Way above the ground, up in the sky, closer to the clouds, stands this man, on a tower doing his job. Making some notes in his book, tightening a bolt here and there, checking stuff only he understands, ensuring that everything is functioning well, so that thousands of mobile phone subscribers can enjoy good connectivity.
He climbs up this really tall tower with no safety net to protect him, lest in case he misses a step. I don't see a helmet or any other safety gear on him. Yet he climbs up to dangerous heights to do a job -to earn a living. At that height he is surrounded by clouds, the view is fantastic, there are all kinds of birds flying past him. It must be like a little patch of Garden of Eden up there. Yet, not even for a minute, did he stop what he was doing and look around and enjoy all that beauty. What an irony!
He's made that trip all the way to the top, he has to finish his task up there,while at it, why not spend a few minutes to just enjoy those clouds and birds up there??
Maybe he is too engrossed in his job. Or maybe he is so scared of heights that he just cannot see what's in front of him.....yet, what a waste!
