Real poverty in life is being unloved,uncared,dejected,rejected,abandoned and lonely.not having money is not real poverty.real poverty is in our hearts and souls which are not able to love or give love beyond ourselves.our inability to love,care,lack of compassion and empathy,our inability to receive love with a open heart that's poverty.it's sad,very sad.just think how many of us are really poor.do we see anything beyond ourself is the real question.
when i was a kid about ten years old,i was studying in st.anns primary school.being a christian missionary school we would say a prayer about jesus christ.everybody would close their eyes and say the our father in heaven holy be your name prayer,it happened one day i opened my eyes and read this quote written on the wall,my obsession with quotes,words and inspiration.it goes like this"for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son,that whosoever believeth in him shouldnot perish but have an everlasting life".i dint know the meaning back then.when everybody said the prayer and later laughed and talked.i kept reading the quite on the wall,trying to understand it.few years later when my english was way much better and my faith strong in god,i actually understood the meaning.
