Every time I visit the Angkor temples area I am just amazed by
the beauty, the grandeur, the “spirituality” of these places. I believe that
most people feel the same... However, do we only imagine the hard work that has
been necessary to build these temples? Of course, it is evidence to me that the
designers of these buildings had a high sense of God, and the tribute they pay
Him is unquestionable. But I am thinking of the ordinary workers, the little
people, the slaves that took part in this great construction work. What
were their thoughts, their feelings, and their living conditions? All along
our human history powerless and poor people have been involved, used by their
masters, by the powerful... I praise the lord for all of them.
