“There are families who marry their daughters off, or sell them to work as prostitutes, so they can buy things like a television.” I can‟t believe this. Grandpa seems to read my mind because he smiles, but it‟s a sad smile. He then whispers: “I can‟t comprehend either. How could we? But it‟s not for us to judge these people. We don‟t live their lives. We can‟t really know their struggles, nor completely understand their ways of life, their culture and traditions.” — Maricla Pannocchia
