A better state of humanity
With the growing population of our planet and with all the volatile political climate our world is going through, would anyone think, or feel or hope that a better state of humanity is possible?Can man as a whole ever achieve what is perfect? Or is it too much to ask and therefore impossible to attain? Therefore settle with the acceptance that it is a matter of luck if and when we are not afflicted with all these current illness and challenges mankind is experiencing specially at this time and age? In example war, poverty and terrorism?
Note: I am lucky, I feel blessed and thankful, I live in a better country compared to the rest of the world. What I mean better is the fact that I have freedom, I can work as hard as I can and gets paid for my worth. I have a decent health insurance and respect is predominantly the norm than the exception.
I wish that all of the 80 percent of the world who lives in poverty and missing out on what freedom and opportunity provides, would have a chance to live as the first and second world do. I really do.
The question is: who's fault is it that there are more poor people in the world than not? The better question is, how can we achieve to eliminate economic inequality?

Was I just lucky that I belong to the baby boomer time?
I was reading the comparative study if the different stages of our societies segment My, it seems the trend today in terms of social structure in relation to technology, ways if life us very crippling. Yet the numbers if millionaires and billionaires has never been this high.
But for the same reason out if 7 billion the 80 percent is very consistent. Why is that?
The World ...From The Beginning....Has Been This Way
Think About It For A Second
Mankind Has Been Wondering About This Situation... From The Very Beginning...In One Form Or Another
First Reason....Over Population
At The Same Time..In The Poverished Nations...They Keep Having Babies...And A Lot Of Them
And..Of Course These Babies Need To Be Fed... Clothed.... And Taken Care Of
Yet..They Cannot Afford To Even Properly Rear Up The Children They Have...Yet..They Keep Producing More Needy Mouths
That To Me...Is Just "One" of The Reasons For Poverty....... As It Is Today
Another Reason?...........Greed...Thievery
Though A Country May Send Aid to Another Country...Food Medicine..Clothes..Shelters..And Money For Other Needs
A Lot Of The Time..These Aid Packages Never Make It To Those It Was Intended For
Instead ...It Ends Up In The Pockets Of The Greedy Officials..In The Very Same Country ....The Aid Was Sent To
Im Sure There Are Many Other Reasons.... As to Why...Also
The World Is How It Is Up To Today....................................................
I agree with you. My birth country, the Philippines, at one time, the more children a couple has, the more help they get, the problem is, like you said, rearing them is a challenge.
On greed and thievery, any solution?
I see the world as being slowly but surely being destroyed little by little.
Thanks for your opinion CC.
I was just reading from another blog about the cause and effect which of course is a very factual phenomenon and or practice. The question therefore is why is there greed and why is there hate?
Everybody Uses That Same Old Term
"A Better World"
But When We Get... Right Down To It
It Isnt About A..... "Bettter World"
This Is Just A Place..........A Place With A Name We Gave It..............."World"
"The World"...........Allows Us One Thing...And One Thing Only................ The Room For Existence
Id Say That Miss Cincy Got It Right On When She Got Across Some Of The True Reasons
Its The Greed And The Hate..(Among A Slew Of Other Reasons)
That Makes It The Situation.................. It Is Today
Maybe...................Instead Of The Title Being............................."A Better World"
Might We..................................... Change The Title To
"A Better Human Race"....................................................
So let me change the title to a better description of what I truly had in mind.
receivers praise God,for acts of Faith->and pray in turn for us->they'll also share blessings as faith acts.
We're all Blessed through God's Economy by loving one another.God bless you Lindsey.
Our Poetry friends have openly shared this,let's keep the faith,on blogs too!
Hi LJ
Some very interesting reading on this blog...
I can only dream and speak of that dream when it comes to such matters
Its amazing what can be achieved by saying.
"I have a dream"
However, religions of the likes of Hindus, Monks and even Christianity today, are not advocating to kill.
They have more records to show love and compassion that I know of in the past 100 years. We can do it.
Yes indeed, how encouraging to move on in our lives amidst these turmoils and terrors, simply by having the light of hope inside of you and by saying: "I have a dream"
However, dreams don't do us any good if none of our dreams do get realized.
We have to have a concerted and collective effort, not you, nor me, nor our neighbors alone can do this. It has to start from us, but ultimately everyone must participate.
I believe that is the key to have our dreams come true.
Life poor frightens people.
Not everyone poverty was bit more than once.
The wealth to a shower corrupts.
Poverty of suffering produces.
As often money cripples us.
Temptations of life - not to consider them.
It is necessary to remember, the wealth won't cure
Neither our Soul and nor honor.
"Cause I'm gonna love you
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever
Forever and ever"
Amen!

There is no poverty
In love
This isnot to say it's Ok to allow our fellow humans live in these conditions....
But the gentleman blogger who said there is no poverty in love [words to that effect] is right, These people share what little they have with their neighbours, and seem less isolated than the wealthy and educated nuclear age people who live in apartments, in luxury but who suffer great loneliness because of the way society has become.
