This may be a normal photo
that should not cause any outpouring of emotions from anyone viewing. Normally, an older brother can carry his younger sibling around even on his back ​when parents are not around and there's no one else to do it.
​But because the scene is captured
inside what looks like a classroom, then everything becomes sad and even depressing. A child in school should not be doing this, carrying a toddler on his back if only parents are doing their part. ​ But maybe I'm judging them too much. Being poor and living in misery has this scene almost on a daily basis in many parts of the world. Poor parents, no matter how hard they work for a living can't provide enough for their family, that's why this whole thing is happening, and it's heart-breaking. And in this case, working hard all day and all night doesn't guarantee a comfortable life especially when your livelihood is peddling or being a street vendor or just an ordinary worker. Your earnings are not enough for a family especially when you have many mouths to feed. You still end up barely making ends meet or not making ends meet at all. There are jobs too that don't even offer minimum wage so as a worker, you have to be economical all the time and save whatever you can just to make it through. It's tough and there are so many of them in this situation. So before you dream of a family of your own, think about jobs and business and other means of making money. Save first before getting married. And when you're married or when you decide to live together with your partner, limit the number of children if possible. Have a family planning method so you will have a good future. Not necessarily rich but as long as you can provide for the family then that will be enough. And don't let your child end up carrying his baby brother to school because you as parents can't take care of him.
