REMEMBER THE LESS PREVILEDGED

Every nation has a share of the less previledged though some countries has more of them than other countries. This variation is just about the geographical position of the country but a number of other factors contribute to this phenomenon.

The historical background of the nation has contributed to some degree on the extent of poverty and fair share of wealth. The longer a nation remained under dictatorship the more people become less disavantaged.

Dictatorship may come in the form of colonialism by a far country of brainwashing by their own kinsman.

A society where the rule of law is favourable to a particular group of people it is imperative that a divide becomes evident in terms of the rich and the poor. This has nothing to do with race, colour of skin ethinicity etc.

A nation that has a significant number of law makers who express selfish ambition, developing their own empires will having nothing but more destitutes, the hungry and "the have nots". All they are concerned with is increse their fame and kingdom.

Institutionalised discrimination is an ever growing disease which will devour many but without any to consider putting things right. When it becomes "right and legal" to disadvantage other people then it will also take time and extra effort to reverse that culture.

Refugee camps in almost every country have been established in most instances as a result of unnecessary selfishness by the minority who think that everybody should lose all they have while the few individuals gain everything.

I am aware that there are still genuine causes for revolt consequently resulting in displacement of people.

Orphans and destitutes are on the increase on every corner and yet the world thinks it is developing and becoming a better to live in. Surely something has to be done if every will at some point have a fair amount of opportunity for a life worth living.

Of course pandemic diseases like AIDS and HIV have also made a very huge blow to the society. This has left young people without anyone to help them but to scounge for survival.

Unless people come together and combine their efforts to combat the pandemic spread then we will continue to see more orphans on our streets let alone in our homes.

There is need for a change of culture in our thinking, behaviour and interaction which will lead to the distribution of wealth in a fair and aminable manner. A lot of activity is going on around the world to address these issues but more can be done.
