I have seen many instances in a middle class family we fight for money. So what in case those who are below poverty line. How they survive in this world. In India i have seen its tendency that once child is grown up he should start earning bcoz they think that money is the only thing that can buy any thing. Any thing means any thing.
And due to the poverty lots of child labour.
So what u say what is tha future of our comming generation.
Is it Black?????

poverty is something no one should ever think of because no one was born to be poor, this is not a matter of Black or white or red .God has created evrything and made evrything attainable,thinking positive is all we need, for example i personally studied in India so i can egually tell how it was there alot of poor that believe that they can nver be rich again ther so tell me how people like this can come up in the society, i am not scared cuz i do not want to believe the ideal of porvert. with money you get what you want when you do not have money you cant afford for some things. Our generation shall be ok no fear!!!!!!!

No, Handsomeearning, I do not think that life is full of sufferings for those born in poverty. Whether wealthy or poor, life can be manageable and enjoyable if one decides not to focus on material possessions as the sole indicator of one's prosperity -
As a matter of fact, until one is shown or told otherwise, people often do not know any different until they are compared to others. I remember watching some documentaries about some "bush people" in Africa and Australia, and was indeed impressed at the pride these people showed and how they sometimes even looked down at those video-taping them!
While money will certainly buy things and make some things in life easier, having wealth does not in itself alleviate sufferings, or does it? Poverty, like slavery, can all be a state of the mind! You know, like when one is told one is a slave and the person actually live like a slave, although without physical restraints!
I believe that sufferings resulting from poverty can be magnified pyschologically. While poverty is real, the resulting sufferings or struggles - more appropriately - do not have to become the main focus. Empowerment, improvement and management of situations is what I prefer to stress. So, things sucks, but one does not have to look like or live like a swine! Manage what you have until things improve!
