poverty status |
By Prince Kelly O. Udebhulu.
Poverty means that you are poor in relation to
those around you. Income poverty ( less than a dollar a day’, for example),
means that you are poor if you have less money than the defined poverty line
for your country. Human poverty takes into account other actors, such as life
expectancy, infant malnutrition, illiteracy and lack of food or clean water.
Basic needs definitions also go beyond money, to include all the things that a
person needs in order to survive – including employment and participation in
society.
When you have a caring parents and one day,
they departed to the World beyond; it’s like staring at something that gives
life; only to see it’s no longer there. Having known what it’s really like to
go hungry and without water, food, and comfortable shelter. I am well informed to narrate it than those
who never had such experience. We are all born into different circumstances; we
can’t do anything about this!
Have I gone hungry as a
child? YES. Not starved, but I had join to fend for myself and others in my
household at a single digit age onwards. As a teenager, I ate the same meal every
day for years which was not the fault of my parents as it was the concept of
availability!
In my life, I have gone to
bed many a time hungry. And, it’s another thing compared to that other feeling
of not being able to afford to eat while others around you are. There is a
difference!
Life depends upon our
seriousness and how luck plays out in our undertakings. Either ways, the past
tells how life is viewed and perceived. To some people, life is a stage; everyone is a
player while to some, life plays its role partially and impartially anchored
upon divine favoritism or hard luck.
In life, perseverance, love,
good heart, good life objectives & planning, luck, grace of God and fear of
God must be observed, otherwise, living from poverty to riches will turn to
stagnation, self-guilt, grace to grass or sorry conditions-God forbids.
