Poverty is a disease that torments humanity since the dawn. Was always present for all times of history and systems of governance. In her presence is an accursed fate, which permanently get rid of humanity can not. I'm talking about the extreme poverty threatens biological life of man. None of przepraktykowanych economic and political systems did not assume its existence and scheduled always show up and you receive today. It is an unintended flaw in the regulation of all systems of legal and economic order of societies. It is not proper to give obedience and legitimacy of the conviction that it must always be present in people's lives and it is. What to do with it?
guess none of the philosophical systems, political, social, religious, and does not imply inequality declaratively people for the use of goods our land. There is probably no single generally applicable definition of poverty in the world and in Poland. I see this cultivar:
- when certain groups of people can not reach the minimum level of biological existence,
- where some groups living on the margins of society access to certain goods,
- when certain social groups have no capacity for a greater share in the estate,
- when some groups living on the margins of human achievement the organization of everyday life.
The worst is the first.
filozofował I still do not, would not get lost in the important area of \u200b\u200blife for mankind. I'll go below the poverty that I see every day around me, which I saw half a century.
I remember from my city, my neighborhood Images of poverty in the postwar period. Steel and mining-town-farm, with all its good and bad features. The war has deprived people of their belongings, homes, carers and found themselves in poverty. Undeserved.
pickers remember emissions from mine waste dumps. I lived on the route of their journey from the coal carts. This had the need for coal to heat homes, but was sold to obtain money for life. Grimy and often tortured to death because they knocked on the door of our apartment to ask for a piece of bread. The memory remained with me the faces of our visitors often beggars. At that time the war was justified, but also embarrassing for the poor. Then the phenomenon of begging is noticeably lost. Left only residually as begging at certain times and places.
Now observe recurrence of begging as a visible body lichen on enlightened twenty-first century society. Why is this happening? Is this the intended effect of the exercise of power by becoming świetlejsze political groups? Probably not! Be that as it may, it is a symptom of today's most shameful life. The world did in a very short time a great progress in scientific, technological, organizational, and forget the vital needs of poor people.
I can not hide a feeling of great embarrassment and shame when:
- to me, coming out of the car goes over a child asking for bread or a few cents on the purchase,
- to my apartment calls the man with the bag, please ask for it as above,
- I see on TV images of homeless camped out in basements and sewers.
Today such a scene when a man preparing to travel into space? Today, when building the institutions that from its origin to provide assistance to people, and look as opulent palaces glittering decorations? Today, when politicians lips are full of platitudes about their servitude towards men? It seems to me that the mistaken direction of human development.
What do you, Dear Readers, my sad thoughts, think on this?
