The World in Pictures - Amelia Caldwell

This picture speaks a thousand words, taken during the Great Depression we can see the sadness in this woman's face and how scared and tired the children were. The people who took the hardest hit from the Great Depression were in a constant state of wondering when their next meal would be and where it would come from. Looking at pictures from this horrible time in history makes me realize how lucky some of us really are. We always complain about not having enough, but at least we have something. This woman, and these children, and the many other people who went through the Great Depression literally had nothing. This picture really makes you think twice before complaining because somebody messed up your order, or you are not allowed to get the iPhone 6 Plus. Pictures from the Great Depression need to teach us to be grateful for what we have, because at any point it could all be taken away.
