Poverty is well known around the world not because you as a human being has failed it is because you have been failed by society. The biggest contribution to this is unemployment, no income means no food. Living circumstances are terrible, you become separated from loved ones from friends. When you are left on your own sometimes making it through another day is difficult. Personally poverty can come to a end if we are willing to open our hearts and do one simple act of kindness. So many children grow up in orphanages because their parents are unable to care for them this is not the life that a young child should be living or be accustomed to.
"Poverty is not made by God, it is created by you and me when we don't share what we have". - Mother Teresa
"Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings". - Nelson Mandela
These quotes are from the most inspirational and influential people of all time willing to make a difference within other peoples lives. So many times we turn and look away because of pride and status but that should not be the reason why someone else should suffer and go hungry or is left in the cold without any shelter or warmth. Society is what it is because we made it that way, there is no one to blame but us because we were selfish and did not take into consideration what others go through around us. Have you ever thought to yourself for one moment how much you complain about life and how you hate your job etc. Well guess what that job you hate there is someone out there who lost their job or can't get a job, hence they do not even have a roof over their head. No place to sleep or keep warm, no food or water. These are all basic needs that we require to survive.
So don't complain about how bad your little problem is when there are people around the world with bigger problems than you. Always take that to mind because you have one bad day someone else has a bad life...
If we can't feed the poor but we can fund a war, I really think there is something wrong with the human race.
