POVERTY: A CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL




Every nation of the world has each own people's suffering. People are suffering due to poverty. Poverty strike to everyone especially for those who are easily vulnerable to the hardship in making a living. The faces of poverty changes the image of the world. There is no balance between rich and poor. The rich have all the money they are craving while the poor have all the suffering the faced while living. Why there are so much difference in the status of their lives?

Poverty brings hunger, lack of shelter and less in education. The rich and poor are living in two different world. The rich live in extravagance while the poor live a life of nothing. The poor is always craving for a change to let them have enough food to eat and better shelter. They don't ask for more: food. clothing and shelter is enough for them.

In urban areas alone, you can see scavengers who live by means of the spoils of food, crumbs that fall to the ground from garbage can to feed his family. Some of them are looking for used materials, anything from plastic, cartons or whatever to sell so that they can have some coins to save for food. When you see them, for sure your heart will break seeing their pitiful condition by continue hanging to the rope of life. But still they survive....

Looking to the core of their plight made you b
link knowing that the main cause is lack of education. If they took the chances in educating their self when there is still time to acquire the knowledge they wanted, these will make a lot of difference. When anyone is educated they can easily look for a better job in the cities. The opportunities to work are plenty and their life is secured. They can continue enriching themselves when there is better opportunities along the way. And when they wanted to have a family of their own, the assurance for a better life is possible.

Those people living in the poverty line were contented of what they have. They don't have that positive attitude to look for a better avenue for self-improvement. They don't have any ambition to ask for more. They were caught in family parenting unprepared because they don't care.

Some people living in the poverty line hardly eat three times a day. The father had no good source of income. Instead of reducing the number of children in a family to conform to their present condition, the more they wanted to have additional child and blame our leaders of their plight. Having many children can add to the burden of raising them. Raising but without educating them can only lead to further their suffering. Without proper education, no matter what they will do to alleviate their plight, there's no chance that it can improve. By looking for the welfare of his family, this is now the time for the father to change ways and focus for the betterment of his children future.

Yes, I see many times in many days in my region the type of people you described, but remember they raise their children in the way they were raised into. So, the root of the problem is far, far behind. The only chance is for one to stop this process.

Its true...People who live in poverty most times just keep having children without a though that its going to be more difficult to provide for them. This is where the older siblings make it their goal to take care of the younger ones and this causes poverty to go on.
