Re: Being Poor

being poor (now please dont jump on me here) is a choice
it doesnt mean its not sad that half of the world is starving literaly but there are possibilities for every single one person alive to have anything they want
how? well its a "quantum world" and if you understand it you can make it what you want and i can tell this from my own experience!!. i used to be poor (kinda) and learned how to think to live the way i want (almost)
since i am fortunate enough to know this i wanted to put my money to good use so i have adopted 4 kids in africa so far, paying for their education, health care and food
theres so many great things in this world and economy/capitalism is not one of them!!

Re: Being Poor

^agree

I can not believe the fact that every single poor person of this world can turn his/her fate 180 degrees and change it, its too idealistic, but for the most of them/us.. there is a solution, at least some kind of it. To be less poor or something, but to not sit in one place and cry above their 'destiny' to be poor and sad. Every day i see people begging for money on the streets of the town i live in, those are all healthy people, still young enough and capable for working something.. cleaning, being a construction workers.. something, anything.. this country's crying for ppl like them and need them, and what do we get? Poor people and poor country.. cuz they dont wanna work, it's easier to wonder around and wear that look of "i'm poor, give me some money" than simply work for it and have your own life settled down, at least in some way.

I guess not every poor man of this world is in a position to find something to work and get over the state of being poor, but i strongly believe that in a big percentage, being poor - its a matter of choice. Do something, change yourself, change the world you're living in..
..its not easy i suppose, it's not easy for me too to be a student in an average Serbian poor family, to work, and to play music...... sometimes i have no time to sleep, but i want my life and i want it now, i don't wanna wait for the university degree cuz i might get into the situation that i cannot find a job even with that damn degree..... so, start changing your life from THIS moment, somehow, anyhow...... i think the most of us can do it.

Yeah that would explain why all them starving Ethiopians didn't just get up and move somewhere else. I'm sure many of the worlds countries would be more than willing to let them in to work construction, wash dishes of do some cleaning.

Just before America & Britain where bombing Iraq they dropped leaflets telling citizens to move out. Maybe they should of had leaflets with big job opportunities in the US and UK. Without education its very hard to travel for most of the poorer people of the world.

What I dont understand is if you feel the opportunity's are there for every Man, Women & Child on the Earth then why bother adopting 4 kids from Africa. If the opportunities are there they shouldn't need your help, all they had to do was learn to think to live the way they want. And if they can't do that then they deserve the predicament they are in.

it IS possible but not probable! its not possible while thinking inside 3D reality box. actually it is also probable when we reach a critical mass... and so on

Poor? Pay Up.
Having Little Money Often Means No Car, No Washing Machine, No Checking Account And No Break From Fees and High Prices

"You have to be rich to be poor.

That's what some people who have never lived below the poverty line don't understand."

Re: Being Poor

It's all relative at the end of the day I feel. Being poor in a rich country is worse than being poor in a poor country. Not only do you not have the pleasure of owning the finer things, you know exactly what you're missing out on.

your joking of course...right?

Re: Being Poor

no, I've had friends from a lot of very very poor communities back home, they maybe poor and make little money but their imposed lack of knowledge of the outside world left them much happier in life. kinda like the bushmen from god's must be crazy part 1. the intro of that movie says it all.

Re: Being Poor

Katitch I am jumping!! Your post just made me incredibly angry. I think the choice that was made here was for your choice not to know what real poverty is. Did you read the whole list ??
