Who is poorer? What is "poor"?

People often say they are poor! Me too, you too, so are we!!!!

Ever think about having no rice to eat, no where to live, no warm clothes in winter, no chance to learn, no money to buy a simple thing??? NO

Ever think of a little child who shines our shoes, sells newspapers on street or begs for a small penny from us? MAY BE

Ever think of a day without 3 meals, TV, electricity, water, and even allowance to survive? PROBABLY NOT

Coz we were born not really in poverty. That is "poor", in normal sense. YES

However, I recently realize another "poverty" - you are poor because you think you are poor. And we complain. And we are sad. While actual poor people still smile. And happy. And optimistic.

I saw lots of people like that. Their life dreams might be our education or healthcare service we take for granted today. Their happiness might be a full meal without worry about the next meal - which we even never think of. their life is more simple than us to some extents, just strive to survive and enjoy what the fate gave them. Is that "rich" in "poverty"???

Let's smile and make it a rich world of happiness and strive for work to change our life.
