Due to the circumstances or something else, the huge majority of a planet, and not the specific county separately, is poor, which is the tragedy.
It's not about the poverty or being under-educated, it is usually about everything mixed into one big pot of chaos, and moreover, it's about the natural selection.
Of course, many of us are average, and others in smaller percentage are better in this or that, but the average is what counts.
Should a great majority be put down over that?
Many have to be poor so that a few can be the rich rule is devastating.
Same like with the natural predators, there is always a few on the top. I don't know if we are built that way as a species or it is an artificial construct.
But nobody should be left poor if he/she is willing to work at best of own capacities.
It should be equal opportunity for the people who are willing to invest and work, but for some reason in nowadays economy which is filled with holes, laws, regulations, and restrictions, more often it is not so.
In other words, we are taking a vast majority of the population and turning them into the failures making the whole situation of that natural selection even worse.
Can you think for a moment who made you successful?
Have you made it yourself? How many equations should collide to create a successful person?
In today's society, it is normal and acceptable to live in a modern form of economic slavery and not to achieve much till late in life. Nobody pressures you if you don't start to think and start to pressure yourself.
Some people make money by imagining stories and they go to buy yachts with the earned money, there is really no rule to tell you how much money will you earn by working hard, or if you even make anything.
It is even harder if a person has that misfortune growing up in the country struck down not to the ground, but under it, by the war, poverty, social collapse, natural disaster, or any other thing that some sort of a human inflated ego can't control.
We all need other people to make any sort of success, no person is an island, there is no such a thing.
