just a question out of curiosity. how do you think the poorest of the poor enjoy their lives?
i've heard many times from some people that the poor people living in really far provinces with nothing else to do have so many kids because it's their best way of enjoying life but i find it so silly to believe.
what do you think?

Well lets not under estimate the power of appreciating simple things:) we'll never know.. theres a lot of rich people who seems to be not happy.. and some poor people who can really appreciate and very thankful to atleast have a meal twice a day...

i agree with them. you know money can't buy anything. but they can enjoy the simplicity of their lives. we pity those people from remote provinces because they can't enjoy most of the conveniences we have but they have friends, a family who is happy and contented, and especially they have God.

The bigger we earn, the wider and higher our indulges are and may I ask you, how do you fit or budget all your indulges and expenditures with your earnings? Average income earners still find enjoyment which above-average income earners experienced. And so with the less-fortunate people. My group and I have been doing charitable works of friends and we have been to various remote areas and even mountains to share the blessings with these people. Since there are no malls and other material temptations in their place, we noticed how happy most of them are with the simple things that they are surrounded with. Sharing with them some of the extra blessings of friends are just added enjoyment to them. But it's a different story with poor people who live in the city proper. However, though I was surprised to have interviewed one family where the head of the family only earns below average and yet was able to send his kids to school of which two are now working in malls. It only shows that we spend based on our priorities and based on our budget thus, they find fulfillment on them.

i think they enjoy life by thanking God for atleast being able to survive everyday or eat for atleast 2 - 3 times a day. money is not everything, anyway.
i think they are just looking at the brighter side of life to be happy though it's a little hard to.
