Poverty

The concept of povety, what does this mean to us? On such occasions we usually think about people, who can't live in dignity.
Poverty also means children, who are homeless and hungry wandering with a desire to survive. However, we aren't talking only of material poverty, many people long for love. How will they feel the solidarity and motherhood, if they had never experienced them? In difficult moments they couldn't trust their mother and father.
Even the homeless we sometimes think, that they are fake. But do we think about them, where are they at nights, when we get back to our warm homes? They sleep in the back streets or on benches in parks. It seems disgusting to us, but this is their only solution. But we never think that this can happen to us too.
In Africa, orphans are left to themselves. Barely gatherings, already protect their sisters and brothers. Happy, if they have only one meal in day. The possibility to go to school, isn't given to anyone. Large families are struggling for days to earn a cup of rice. Although a large deficiency they encourage. Poverty requires a high tax. People in desperation steal just to get to jail, because they get a warm meal there.
Taking all of this, imagine how much food we have, abundance, love now when millions of people are waiting for our goodness. Let us have at least bit of compassion.We mustn`t forget that we can be in their place tomorrow.
