      You'll be surprised to know that the "rich" people of Dubai are a minority. What u see in Dubai (sky scrapers, hotels, resorts etc) are occupied by like 10-20% of the population. Just drive for 20-30 mins outside of there and you'll see the real Dubai. You'll see hardworking south Asians who built this country day after day living in poverty. Its sad but its true...

      As a Muslim I don't like Middle East . They just using Asian people.as a none Muslim countries I think Usa 🇺🇸 and Uk Canada etc best. They pay equal wages to everyone. Doesn't matter where you from....same rules for everyone. Same justice for everyone

    Im Indian but im born and brought up in the UAE, and I can confirm that there are many people who have similar conditions like this gentleman. Alhamdulillah my family is doing okay, though we r having some financial issues as of late and its getting harder day by day. I consider myself blessed to see that despite the hardship this man faces, he still works hard with honesty and integrity. This motivates me to work hard in order to relieve myself and my family from the issues we r currently facing. And I have more respect for him cuz he believes in hard work despite his poverty, whereas some people barely work but make fortunes, and that boils my blood.

      Because he was not sure about you and what's your orientation and interest
      He did this to find shared interest and things in common with you to talk more and more, all that for the tip he will get from you or for something you may ask him to get or do for you so he can make money.

But sorry I just can't understand why you people see it as something that will stop you from having a good life...I mean yes for sure you'll not be able to save as much as money as you would do with 1 or 2 children but is money that important? I guess everyone values different things...

    • @alimohammedhaider6611
      @alimohammedhaider6611 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Is that so? And who are you to say how many children someone should have? You think that overpopulation is an issue and that "educated people" have it all figured out? If many of these "educated people" you refer to gave from what they have to the poor and didn't think themselves as superior beings, what you speak of wouldn't be an issue. The real problem is the way that you and your ilk think. "My money, My life, My problems". Had you dedicated your concern to what really mattered, which is your own selfishness, your own irresponsibility, the world would be a better place and you a better human.
