Make a Better Place For You and For Me…

Poverty still continuously attacks to each and everyone at these present times. As an effect, each one experiences financial crisis. Others can’t fully sustain their needs because they don’t have enough money. Some can’t eat three times a day that results to hunger. Others are unemployed and can’t find a job which is supposedly their source to earn something. Some also do not have enough earnings for their living. There are also some cases of people who experience poverty because they were bankrupted. We see some street children and beggars who ask for some money or food to the people that they see. Many of our unfortunate fellows live in squatter areas or some just live and sleep beside the streets. As I reflect on these things, I really pity these people so much. How come the government can’t afford a better economy in order to lessen this kind of problem that this country is experiencing. I hope someday, as time comes, these people may somehow uplift themselves from these situations and have a better living.

We really know that Poverty is one of the most common problems that our country is facing. I’m so concerned with our fellow brothers and sisters here in the country who are undergoing this kind of problem. Others say that Corruption is one of the most common causes of this kind of crisis. Aside from this, some other causes that may lead to this are unemployment and illiteracy. I know other people strive hard in order to have earnings for their living. But sometimes this is not yet enough to sustain their needs. Others sacrifice and go abroad in order to find an opportunity for a better living for their families. I know that these issues are not yet solved by the government. Some people have their perception that they become poorer as time comes because also of the poor governance that this country is encountering. Sometimes, others refer to the size of the population. The more children in the family are, the more difficult will that family can manage the needs of each members. But others disagree on it and suggest that there will be no poverty problems when in terms to population unless the government knows how to manage a country and make it productive even there’s a high number of population.

As I ask my self, when can all of these problems be solved? When can all of the people here in this world will somehow be relieved and can recover from all of these difficult situations? I’ll always wait for the answers and solutions to arise. But I also think that the solutions to these can start in our hands. I think we must not be too much dependent to other people who can work out for this. I think we must strive hard and move on. We must lend a helping hand and share one’s help to each other. We can also have a charity wherein we can do something for the benefit of others who are in need. Based in the Bible, since before, majority of the people are poor that’s why Jesus chose also to be poor in order to help them and show his great kindness to them. I always believe that God grants us blessings in life and entrusts these to us because He knows that we will not just use it for our own but also for the sake of the people who are in need. I hope all of us can have a time to reflect on these matters. Let’s close our eyes for a while and feel how blessed are we while others are experiencing too much crisis in their lives. You can really feel conscience to this and I hope that we can perform what we must do in order to help those who are in need. Through this, I’m hoping for a brighter future here in this country and in the whole world. Someday, we can make this world free of poverty and be a better place for you, for me, and for all of us.

I hope that we can gain some realizations as we realize a lot of things here in the society.

Let’s lend a helping hand for a brighter future.

May God bless us all!
