Warched the movie again..

Reminds me of sembulan

What.. People think is okay

Is not okay

And someone whom knows the true true

Has to.. Do something.. 

Speak out.. Act.

the solution to poverty

Being poor is generally associated with a particular economic state. Of cause we can define it to include other aspects such as metal, emotional, relational and other abstract values. For this particular statement however let set the boundary as regards to being poor financially.

So what is the solution to this age old question? How did peasants in the feudal eras overcome their lords, how did workers unionised to demand rights from capitalist, how did slaves walk out freed men? 

I thought over it, while picking cumcumbers... And I've come up with a theoretical soultion

For there to be no poor, there has to be no rich. 

Now i know that sounds crazy. But listen before you label me a socialistic communist..

There will be no poor when people stop exploiting other people. When humans cease to see each other as mear objects. When humanity can realise we're all in this together.

As one part of the body cares for another, so too should those privileged ones care for the less fortunate. 

To embodie this theory. One has to be able to come to apoint where he will never make a claim that he is rich. Or well, never self proclaim it. If he has the ability to be rich, and there are still the poor amongst him, then he isn't truly rich.. yet. He is only considered rich if he's been able to eradicate poverty. In other words there are no more poor people.

However this might be impossible, because human nature by default is lazy and we tend to the path of least resistance. Someone whom is just begging and waiting for handouts without lifting a finger surely doesnt deserve help does he?

Or does he nevertheless? 

The undeserving, 

The unlovable, 

The hated

The ridiculed

The scorned and shamed... 

Ah... Surely they dont deserve unmerited favours. 

The solution to poverty is there must be no richness. 

One man gets richer at the expense of another. Thats just the natural law of nature. A plant that extends more roots can get water supplies and essential nutritions better than another plant whom cant compete. Completion for sunlight, minerals and space makes nature progress in a.... sustainable manner. 

Old plants will never live forever, nor seeds remain in the ground. Young plants will not be shaded forever, and with the full sunlight after a treefall, they have the time and potential to mature to their best. Growing high and proving shade for the next generation, continuing the cycle. 

Its all a cycle. 

The rich, the poor 

The lazy the hardworking

The exploited the opportunist 

There will be no more poor when the rich willingly give up their riches

Yes so that sounds impossible. No human in the right frame of mind will give up their hard earn savings to some random beggar on the street that didn't work hard for it. 

No God would give up his life, his throne in heaven for a mankind so full of hate towards him. 

But anyways.. 

Nature.. 

If they don't, nature will just happen. 

People will die. It cant be taken along. Money will be passed on. It'll be squandered by the next generation. And... 

The poor will be the one whom was once rich. And the currently poor will find riches.

Or will they? 

The solution to poverty. 

There must be no hypercapitalism, 

No advertising or marketing. 

No broadcasting, social media or expositions... 

Will that make it go away? 

Maybe not.. Thats just living in denial, ignorance. 

The solution to poverty is when there is no money... That can be concentrated.. 

Hmm block chain? Crypto currency might just overthrow the current economic market.. Maybe leaving old traditional cash obsolete and invalid.. Then what? What about this new world order.. 

Are you ready or prepared for it? 

The answer to the big question.. 

The poor you will always have among you, 

It is what you choose to do when interacting with them that will determine the outcome of the chain of events about to occur in time. 

Till next time, 

Thanks for wsnting to be better today than you were yesterday.

respect nature

Humans didn't respect nature,

Now nature hits back hard. 

selfish selflessness

There are two kinds of people.

One that help others without expecting anything in return. 

And one that helps for selfish reasons. 

Some people have a worldview that every person in the world is actually selfish, that theres alwaysba hidden intention to any help offered, big or small. I don't disagree completely with them if they hold this view so strongly. I belive everyone is born selfish, as evident in a baby or child. They only think sbout themseves and self preservation. Milk, toys. Leaening to 'share' is probably one of the hardest lessons

Coming to selflessness and true kindness. Gratitude, generosity, and just a heart that blesses. 

Can a person like that exist? One that gives without expecting anything in return. Genuinely. 

A person that helps for the sake of helping and nothing else. Because thats in his character to do so. Its who he is. 

There is no hesitancy or feeling of obligation. No hint of resistance or pause.

Yes i believe there is only one person that truely has that, Jesus. 

And the only way we could be that charitable is by His power. The Father has to give and grant it to us to do so. 

I'm not rich enough...

I used to say money isn't the most important thing in this world (dont worry, it still isn't the number one)

But with that saying came a mindset that money wasn't really important in any sense (which is obviously not true)

Not like i never appreciated or been grateful for what is, but maybe i took for granted the providence

Like isn't it normal for a child to ask of a father, and the father lovingly gives what he knows to be good to his beloved child?

And wouldn't a father want to give if he could, wouldn't it be abnormal if a son refuses to ask or accept the good gifts a father wants to give, especially out of proud arrogance?

(just to make things clear I'm perfectly okay with my dad, haha.. Its just a thought experiment I'm getting to)

So many people i meet here in NZ on the working holiday dont have that same mindset..

I mean, i dont blame them least i be condescending. But like... money is such a big deal, as if life revolves around the dollar sign..

Maybe they were not so blessed, childhood gorwing up in certain family conditions and such.. But don't we get to choose how our relationship and feelings towards money would be when we are adults?

I've met people whom are contented, whom dont say "I'm poor and need to work more" (so so so many people say that when they're not!). I've also met others that keep saying that...

Jesus....

Well God really talked alot abt money in the Bible didn't He.. I guess without Jesus... Really the only other god to live for would probably be that..

Gee, dont know why i feel so frustrated, so.. judgy...

Anyways.. Yeap..

Like you said contentment is key
