putting things in perspective...

one of the members of my bible-study (who happens to be an architect) was strolling through the city before class. She happened to start counting all the buildings that had been built by her firm and felt amazed at how many of the buildings there were. She started to share how her boss could so easily be filled with pride over the many buildings he had built.

to which another member of the group grinned and said, 'he didn't build them! the [name of third world country] workers did!'
