Poverty (Do You Care?)


Someday when you past a road or a boulevard, perhaps this kind of sight were seen by you. Did you feel something? Were you shaken by it?

People in whole world really know about it. Poverty is maybe familiar for them. Even, they or we are surrounded by such reality everyday. Poor people are our neighbors.

But, do we care? Will we care? Or, we just act like it's an usual thing. If we see the headline of newspaper on left, there will be several reaction.
  • Somebody will be shocked, and
  • somebody else will argue that it's usual.
The numbers of dying poor people are very large. Even, larger and larger everyday. Poverty has come in many reasons. But, should we become careless? Will we just let them down away? Should we pass these people every morning or every afternoon by our cars without any attention? Are we that cruel?

Remember: these poor people are our brothers and sisters too! Genetically proven, we have the same bloodline with them under our skins. And, they need our attention, our affection, our action. Never have any suspicious mind on them - moreover - hate them, whether they beg you a few pence through your car's window! That's cruel, really cruel, even a criminal treat. How do we feel if we're treated like that by others?

Though just a little bit, we can help them. If every person in this world has a little act for poor people, poverty will be overcome. Its spread can be stopped. If we can't fulfill something they need, just give them a smile - not a fake smile! Lift their souls up!

If we love them, God will love us too.
If we care of them, God will care about us too.
If we help them, God will help us too.
We need each other. That's the intention God created us: too see our love on earth.
