Recently, my uncle suffered from a brain disease which I can't say the scientific name. The disease makes my uncle like a fool and show a symptom of gatism, moreover, the doctor said that he can only live for three years. You know, not only my uncle but also my aunt deeply suffers. My aunt is poor, and she has some disease as well. She still has large debt under the circumstance that he is nearly 70 years old. Her life is unfortunate, and what's more, I found a phenomenon exists in the society: the poor always have more misfortunes than the rich. I think it's unfair. So what do you think of it?

Many people in this world are sadly destined to be sufferers all the time. Misfortunes come to them in scores. It is all there and none can alter it.

When you are poor, it makes it hard to get good food that you need to stay healthier.
Some illnesses are heredity such as diabetes. Everyone in my husbands family has it.
When you have little money paying bills comes first just to have a place to live,utilities,food on the table and try to take care of yourself medically. I know if my husband passed, I will spiral down too. Good Luck to your family.

Well, we should always be hopeful of getting and living better in near future and for that we have to continue our struggle with proper planning. This is what my grand father used to tell us. He was a successful person. Hope you too would do as my grand father often advised us to do.

Maybe it's because most poor people are now filled with negativity that's why they often experience negative events. Maybe if more positive reinforcements are done, the poor can also experience good things.

Because misfortunes that brings failure ultimately becomes sometime the pillar of success. Most rich people of today were facing and undergoing misfortunes to reach where they are now.

I think there is treatment for this disease, but you know, my uncle is 78 years old this year and it will cost a lot if treat him. We can't afford it at present. So we hold an attitude to let it be.
