perhaps too emotional?


I'm sitting here in Amsterdam Airport when a young lady, I say about 20yrs old in a KLM uniform offering me biscuits and attempting to take away my used plate. A while ago in the toilet, there was an old lady, I say older than 50yr old cleaning the toilets .
two scenes with the same reaction, i felt really sad. a 20yr old girl should be out there making her dreams come true, and a 50yr old lady should be resting at home playing with her grandchildren. I know a job is a job and sadly, not everyone is born wealthy and most of the world have to work really hard to make a living. Maybe life isn't fair. I just can't help feeling sad when i see such people .. young children selling products in the streets, old men doing hard labor work, old ladies cleaning houses and stuff .. it really breaks my heart.. i get the urge to hug them.
Ive been told by one of my seniors in Canada that i have this good emotional sensitivity to other people's feelings .. perhaps im too sensitive?
I guess i shouldn't judge,  i mean that girl atleast have a decent job and not another homeless person on drugs or doesn't have to sell her body for money and i guess that old lady is taking care of her self instead of rely on others.
and maybe things will change for them eventually. ive seen how life flips completely for me and for others. Maybe this is the beginning of something beautiful.
okay, its been a long flight and my brain is a bit slower right now so i'll finish this later on
