POVERTY?

Is poverty really a problem to be solved?

What is poverty?

A big general term applied to society.
We mean there are poor people living in our community.
They are so poor they cannot afford what we think of as the basics of living.

Food
Shelter
Clothing
Education
Medical care
Automobiles
Computers
Telephones
Cellphones
High speed internet
Big weddings and funerals and parties
Big vacations and cruises
Big screen high definition televisions

Anyway, they are starving and homeless and can't afford medicine. Sounds bad to me.

But I don't think those are the people we think of when we think of the "problem of poverty."

Poverty is seen in relative terms.

If someone else has a lot more, then you are relatively poor. I think this is what they mean when they talk about the "problem of poverty."

To me this is a personal problem.
It is a problem of envy.

Let us forget about poverty. Let us remove the word from our vacabulary.
What we really want to do is help people with desperate needs. Let us help those people and stop worrying about the people who are resentful of their neighbors who have more.

Poverty?
There is no poverty.

Everything we need is available right here and right now. It is all the gift of the infinite spirit. Open your heart and receive with praise and thanks.
