Angry

In spite of my attempt to distract her with my camera to help out the mother , she kept on yelling out her angryness while beating her mother and with a stuburn quick look she let me know that nothing could disturb her act.

Here we come to the issue of education so totally differant from the West. Children are raised as litlle presents from God in the comminity controled by everyone, not even one second they have the chance to think for themself as most have no personal room at their home. So no privacy and therefore they learn from youngs how to mannipulate their surroundings unconsiously in a fine way to get what they want. The younger the more freedom they got to impose their will and afterwards when they get more then eight the evil is beaten out to put them straight in line to society. That's why when they are grown up they experience foreigners so marvelously naif and infantile as they are masters in enpathie. On the other hand they admire us for our creativity, a residu from our strict individual education. As a Tamil told me so: a foreigner never lies so his excuse will be always accepted as thruth and an Indian is supposed to lie all the time, no way they gone believe his excuse in his society.

A very emotional response, and a blurred hand, makes this picture express the child's displeasure. We feel this picture, along with seeing it.
