A Scene From The City

I saw this one day in Manhattan and I could not get it out of my head for days. When I passed this guy I laughed to myself but it wasn't a laugh meant to mock him, but more out of fear or how depressing of a scene it was. His job is to sit, cramped in a little space, all day and sell magazines of beautiful people enjoying life, cameras to help us remember all the fun things we did that day, candy that we love to eat, gum to make our breath smell better, and everything else for us to enjoy while we roam around the city. It made me think of the scene in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon talks about the honor in having to work a job where you tend to people and their needs all day and then Robin Williams calls him out on all his bullshit.
