Why We Must Care

It may be your family, your mother, your father, your friend, your brother, or your sister. Anyone can be affected by poverty and poverty has no respect for anyone. We can all be victims of its grip. Economies can be built up and they can fall. Poverty knows no boundary and poverty has no race, no color, no creed, and no sex. No one is immune to poverty, it can take anyone by storm and devour their livelihood. Poverty is a victimize and strike the very young of our world and people. Every day young children are born into poverty and even when they are educated they are still victims of its grip on their life. Young children die daily due to a lack of food, clothing, medicine, housing, and shelter. Every day children waste away and parents have to see their children starving and dying in front of them. And some children lose their parents and caretakers becoming orphans at a young age. Where is the compassion for humanity? Where is the love for life and respect for life? We all must take responsibility for not caring enough to give and share our wealth, what we take for granted. Many may be asked why should they care because we benefited from cheap labor and we benefited from cheap wages and our livelihood may have to answer to the crimes of poverty that built our economy. It will behoove us to care and amend what we have done and the lack of care we have shown. We can change the world with one act of kindness. We can shed light on the darkness of poverty. Its culture must be brought to justice. And we cannot lose this fight for the children's lives are at stake and the future of the world depends on them. We must band together and reach for those whose lives are burden with impossibilities. What kind of legacy is passing down to your children? If you want them to care about the world then you must show them how to care. You must take the time to pass down charity. Who knows if that child you save may become a doctor who eradicates cancer? Who knows if that child you save becomes an educator and lift a generation out of poverty? We must understand that this battle is real and happening every day. We cannot become complacent with our care and neglect the need of the impoverished. Every day is a day of change, change those impoverished lives by helping them out of poverty that has been generational and lifting. Who knows if we have much so we can build up others? Who knows if we might have so we can change the world? The legacy of the world is at stake, those who are in need happens to be in dire situations. Even babies are dying because their mothers lacked the necessary nutrition. If we don't take up this fight then we will regret it. Isolating ourselves from the problem only makes the problem worse and it refuses to disappear. Do riches matter when most of the world is poor? Do riches matter when poverty could come at any time? A man is measure by his greatness and not by what he owns. A woman is seen by her charity and not by what she possesses. We can no longer hide the light of doing good. It is time to reach further and dig deeper. You can change eternity for those impoverished, do so today.
