Sometimes we ask ourselves, why is it that some people are rich and some are poor? I think it has be like that since the creation of the world... But then, the rich are not to mock the the poor. They are to feed, give to them or assist them in becoming rich. What did our Lord Jesus Christ say about poverty?
According to the account of St Luke 14:13, " But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind;" (Luke 6:20-21) And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said, Blessed be ye poor; for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
According to the book of Deuteronomy 15:11, for the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shat open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. From these bible account, we can see that the fate of man as being poor or rich has been from the origin of the world.
Oftentime, the solution or question has been; how to eradicate poverty.
Now the question is, can poverty be eradicated or can the world be free from having poor people? I think the answer to this question is "NO" Because as seen from the holy book; The old and new Testament confirmed poverty as part of humanity.
Although, poverty is vary from continent to continent: in the developed countries poor people have access to good standard of living: such as; food, shelter, water, health care and good road etc. Moreso, the government make provision for the unemployment, by giving them all the neccessary basic of living i.e housing, food and allowance for other needs. (Case study, Germany)...
While in Africa, Asia and India are where we find extreme poverty; with people without home, people living on the streets. Even in the course of surviving some people left their home and started living on the street, some find help and other ended up in adject poverty.
It is a known fact, that poverty can not be eradicated but it can be reduce. How can poverty be reduce? Poverty can be reduce by the following ways: By Empowering The Youth of a given society, Antipoverty programs, Skill Building, Help from Religion Leaders, Government should make Provision for less Privilege ones, Individual and the Society at large can reduce poverty by Effortless Ways To Support a Good Cause.
Inconclusion, it is clear that poverty can not be eradicated but it can be reduced. Every Individual should have a positive mind set. (Individualism) "The poor shall never cease out of the land" it does not mean you have to be one, you can walk out of poverty to become a wealthy person.
