poverty.
Those who have not really experienced poverty hacerca not have much perspective of what it means, especially if well never have worried. Do I need experience to know what poverty means? Perhaps not strictly, but it is a situation that will be a lot of ways, particularly the sense
.
Poverty in the economic sense and is a flajelo material that countries like ours dragging on forever. In fact very few countries actually could say that poverty rates are zero or near zero. I personally think that poverty, while being a great haze as a people, is not entirely a disaster, speaking of a natural order. For which it is clearly suffering, and in that sense I agree with the motto of a friend that said
"We need to abolish poverty" .
Of course it is necessary to eradicate poverty and much of it has to do with the actions of governments and political leaders. Poverty is less a question of money (the existence of money itself is a problem, but it is another matter), is the direct consequence of human selfishness, not to share work, prosperity, knowledge, education, the means or the will actually generates an accumulation of one hand and a deficiency in another. The millionaires use every effort to make more money if necessary allying with politicians and authorities to solve the "glitches" that are necessary to sustain these gains or achieve other. Is a chain of favors, sometimes legally, sometimes illegally, sometimes ambivalent.
Is the rich to blame for poverty? ... I think not. The rich do not have material needs, but many other types of scarce. The thirst for political power and authority to solve their internal weaknesses. The means and opportunities abound certainly gives a great framework for innovation creativity, progress and evolution. But it is the people, society itself, who is more compelled to act.
People live their daily lives as mere humans react in the worst case, "pursued the crib sheet for himself or his family without any expectations beyond. At worst, looking to settle their pettiness, shortcomings and human trauma going on the other, tricking others and manipulating the truth or worse, overlapping injustice, lying, egocentricity, etc.., Having no problems with anyone or seeking "get along with everybody," thus falling into the worst of mediocrity.
No spirit of justice true, but for revenge, no search for balance, but hoarding, no recognition for others, but concealment, there is no real fight for the common progress but rather a simple and selfish vision of being "more than the other ", although sometimes not even really have the capacity to be.
Man has never really been treated as a universal entity, only very briefly as individuals and as humanity. He does not realize that poverty is a poverty of all, not just monetary or material, but educational, cultural, social and yes ... spiritual. More still are not satisfied with living in close spiritual mediocrity, but the transpiten their children, increasingly devalued little "human spirit" that remains.
is much talk of human consciousness, but the man is without a doubt have an animal body in struggle to survive and build their society with that sense. When humans transcend their own humanity can truly begin to lay the basis of the meta-human, super-human and a community of those characteristics. As theorists say, communism is really something that human societies have never experimientado. Except for brief moments, that Communism is alien to us yet.
Sharing your life, friendship, experience and desire for a common good and general could be communism? ... What could, that kind of community poverty be eradicated, despite not having great material things? I think if possible, but not all are willing to do this, so it remains a
Utopia.
freedom of beliefs and affiliations in many ways is the subject of separatism. What separates us from us individually, because it is oriented to personal property, not the common good. That is in my opinion the greatest of poverty. The entity that seeks only to stand by individualism and not by merit, moving the pieces, the pawns and disguising intentions to achieve their goals without regard highly personal and without learning or even ignoring the past.
Where is the human spirit that can help us transcend as universal beings? I believe that the Amistad
. Because friendship is the true meaning of love of neighbor, not because Sentra acquaintances or relatives, but extends beyond the close circles, towards the unknown, they become closer in time to capture that sense of friendship and solidarity becomes more serious moments, or turned into moments of real unity in action. The friendship may be the transcendence of spirit, truth and human community.
Is it possible to "abolish poverty"? Yes, but that begins with each one, to free ourselves of our traumas, selfishness, personal ambition (not the same as the goals), mediocrity and concepts that bind us and strung or worst divide us and prevent evolution.
That is the real poverty ... spiritual poverty.
