Hello everyone, hope all are doing good. Be responsible and this time shall pass too.
A thought crossed my mind about 'Poverty", like is it man-made or natural??
The present lifecycle begins with birth when you are dependable on parents, starting from food to poop. Is it natural or man-made? It is natural, as you cannot expect a baby to come out of the womb and start doing all the work on itself.
Then schooling starts and you are been taught what is wrong and right and slowly the standards escalate and you come to know some fundamentals and standard things- theorems, principle, calculations etc. College begins you are driven more into the details that you choose to dive in and then finally you settle for a job or you become an entrepreneur or go into some creative field.
Take birth, start attending school and in few years it is not possible to continue education anymore because of financial crunch, so decision of dropout is made. Back to home playing with kids of your same age group and dropouts too. Not even reaching the age of 10 and here you are cleaning table in a food joint and serving food to help your family to survive. Yes it is a question of survival not a choice or lifestyle.
Born in a family where the parents too don't make minimum steady income. But you are welcomed in the family with loads of love but no food. So you keep on crying because as a baby you have limited expressions. But the crying has stopped now after 30 days of birth because you were not able to survive without food and malnourishment took you away.
So was life always like this?? A person has to do a job or something to earn so that he or she can lead a standard life. In this scenario a poor will always remain poor and money will keep making more money. (Though exceptions are always there)
Money. What is money?? Where did it derive from?? How money came into picture??
Do you think money was always there?? Wrong.!! When human being came into existence they relied on nature for food. In fact, if we try to rewind and see or dig out some family history of before the last 5-6 generations, most of us will come to know that families used to stay together and no one used to go out for job. They had a family house where they lived, a land where there food was been produced and a shed for their cattle. Life was so much self-reliable.Not even touching the quality of food aspect.
If everybody had been living the same self-reliable life then poverty would have never come into the scene.
So was money a required system or some greedy people made up this system so that rich keep on becoming more rich and poor more poorer ??
Nowadays everyone is working hard to buy cars, apartments, air conditioner, big refrigerators etc. But really are these required for a fulfilled life. I don't know whether I am wrong or not but my goal is to make a house in mountains(because there still the air is fresh), have some extra land for growing my own food and also some cattle like cow or a pond for fishes. If I have a roof and my food then how much more money do I require to live a life??
