I have lived in poverty for pretty much my whole life.
The poverty line is referred to as the amount of income required to meet ones basic needs. There are approximately 3 million Canadians, (or 11.6% of the population) living below this measure of income. Poverty is a lot more prevalent in the world then many are aware of.
There are great tragedies occurring in third world countries as a result of poverty but thats not the only place poverty causes suffering. Third world tragedies are certainly very important issues that need addressing, but this doesn’t negate from the need presented amongst those in first world poverty as well. Sadly, many people in the first world use their knowledge of third world conditions, to compare to those that are impoverished in developed countries. They use this information to support the mindset that those who are in poverty have put themselves there, but that is NOT the case!
In this video, I explain how prevalent poverty still is throughout the world, and also express that it is completely unnecessary. It is the result of poor structuring in governments worldwide. There is a great need for better distribution of resources and greater empathy between people in general! Check it out to learn more! But above all, know that:
Empathy is the key to ending Poverty!
And check back with me next Sunday, where I try again, to share a little something I've learned in life!
