Coming face-to-face with poverty: Once was plenty.

avatar

One of the things that have become fairly obvious to me in recent days is that when life smacks us hard on the face, so many people would be willing to do insane things to never experience it again. This whole thing gets heightened when money is on the line.

You know, I've heard that poverty is a disease. That may sound harsh, but those that have come face-to-face with poverty can attest to the fact that it's never something you would want to experience more than once in a lifetime. Little wonder why the poor lads are pushing themselves to escape from the grip of poverty. Those that have already escaped from it are also hell-bent on never having another taste of it.

The reason for this is not farfetched.

Fundamentally, we all want the best we can get from life. Even a young lad living in the fantasy world of teenagers says he wants an effervescent lifestyle. Let's not forget the societal treatment people get for being poor. We are now in a society where the poor and the dead are almost the same... They are both insignificant, irrelevant and treated as unimportant.

Nobody wants to have the experience of a living corpse and that's why an overwhelming proportion of people who are alive are either trying hard to escape from poverty or to remain at the top without any chance of coming face-to-face with poverty.

Does this serve as a reasonable justification for why people step on toes to amass wealth?

I genuinely don't think so!

If you think it's okay to steal from people to be rich, I suggest you think again because there is a nasty price to pay for everyone you ruined their life just because of your desire to get rich. If anything, choose to hunt for wealth the right way. Do it in a way that doesn't involve sinking the ship of those around you.

In case you don't know, saying these doesn't mean that I've already reached the top. I'm not particularly thrilled about the life I have now, but I also don't hate it. I just want to continuously take routes that doesn't involve wrecking others while I hunt for wealth.

building ambition in life is so precious. money will follow it. but it is a sad reality that most of the talent is wasted because of this money problem. most of the gems spend their whole lives coping with this money problem. That's really bad.

Yeah. The money problem is actually a very big problem and it is always sad to see that what started initially as a monetary problem can spread across all other aspects of life. It can affect our health and it can also affect our relationship with those around them.

In fact, these money problems has sufficiently proven to have so many complexities.

Now this is more like it. You can never rise by bringing others down. Although life is not fair, we all have to strive in one way or the other...honest strives.

When people are suffering from poverty and they choose to wreck others in order to succeed, they usually fail to understand that doing such means that they are setting themselves up to be screwed both ways. It's a shame, really.
