What
nice is the day of 1st May, when people who are already living under
a cool roof are privileged with a holiday and the real labors who wring the
blood and sweat out of their bodies to provide us a luxurious life have no
holiday on this day!
Labor’s day is counted amongst the most prominent days in history when labors
around the world got their rights after so many protests and so much blood
shedding. I had this book done reading by Maxim Gorky on revolutionary workers,
The Mother. It’s an expensive treasure to be explored for those who are
interested in getting the history uncovered. This book sums up the story that
dates back to 1906 in Russia that how a mother and his son, together with his
friends fight for the rights of proletariat. Government in every country has
always been against youngsters’ rightful acts but the youth in this book stood
up to their once taken decisions and did not give up for what was right.
It was a surprise to me that on a platform like social media where even the
most useless days re celebrated and enjoyed, labors day is given no such
importance. Not for once did I come across any post of appreciation for labors this
whole day and it is a shame that we proudly announce Labor Day holiday and give
not a single thought of who are the labors, how they deserve to be treated and
that we should be thanking them all the time.
My mom always used to tell me that we are all labors. We all go to jobs, to
schools for learning and that every person who works is a labor. I don’t know
if she is true or not but I know this that labors in our country are not given
the status they deserve, at least on this international labor day. One day,
hopefully, they will be rewarded for their extreme hard work and services and
the fact that they are irreplaceable is what nobody can deny.
