Sometimes i look at the continent of Africa generally and my own fellow countrymen and I cant help conluding that Africa is the most hit by poverty. Do you agree, or do you think poverty is a global thing?

Yes i really agree to that facts or shall we say the reality that are very transparent... Just like what i said to my posted ideas that poverty would be a reason of all problems that rises around the world. Yes it is really a global thing and if people in the positions whom had the power and authority to do something that would help resolved this problem, i think much of the crimes, much of the corruptions, much of the greed to conquer the powers, will still inhabit the world... But I also have in mind that i think the best thing to start is from within ourself. In what way? maybe from a very little way of having the fear of God. Because if people have the fear of God, then good thing will just follow. Now, how does it relate to the topic of poverty? Well, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. If one has this wisdom and knows how to use it, then he will be able to generate ideas, think of things how to improve his life.

Just like of what had happened here in my country Philippines, election is very much approaching, news here and there about ambush, killings due to rivalries, are very rampant. Do you know what they want? the powers, and the positions, thats their interests, and why they wanted to get that, well maybe for deeper reasons...

It is not so much an 'African problem" but rather a cultural, socio-economic problem that affects all regions even in the richest country the United States. To say it is exclusively one countrie's downfall is truly unfair and inaccurate because everyone in some point of their lives has felt the absence of money and the weakness without food or water despite it being magnified 1000 times in our third world countries. Definitely a global problem needing a mass consciousness resolution principle to be adopted world-wide: TEACH SUSTAINABILITY with the resources already present and keep precious those resources that can be regenerated rather than eliminated or depleted to the point of less recovery over a period of time and calamity arises . . . sharing the light, Erica Welcome to my world on EarthSave link: http://www.enlightenment-psych.net
