Most of those in managerial positions in the Kingdom are high-ranking officials. They look at ordinary citizens as part of a group — the working class — which must follow instructions and pay for services without questioning.
It is dangerous when such an official is unaware of the life and experience of an ordinary citizen.
The official may make a decision without any realization of what ordinary working class people go through or what their financial abilities are. Some decisions made take no account whatsoever of the living conditions of the average citizen. The situation is similar to that of the French child who, when asked what African children without bread should do, said that they should eat cake.
Here the problem exists because the official fails to put himself into the position of the average citizen and feel what the citizen feels. It is very important to weigh the situation before making a new decision. If the official makes a decision based on his own present living conditions, then a large part of society will be troubled.
I am writing from experience. These days many citizens suffer from problems such as the charge per minute for cell phone calls and the charges for electricity. Many of these necessary expenses cannot be covered by the salaries which most people receive. Some people cannot even meet their daily expenses; some are unemployed and many cannot bear the expense of treatment in a private hospital.
The high cost of living means nothing to an official who has plenty of money. I wish that before a decision were made, the official would imagine himself in the shoes of the working class.
