Helping the POOR 2

It's been a trend recently; 'helping the poor'. People do start organizations, post or share videos on the same in social networks, thousands like them praise those 'god sent kind people', who help them. And both parties, who help and whom are being helped are happy; the spectators too!

Are we happy because we make the poor’s life a better one?

- It can't be! because food for a day or 10,000 rupee doesn't make their  life a better one.

Or if money was the only problem why don't we steal money making machine from reserve bank of India and just print as much as we want. Will it solve the problem?

-Nope! Because if everyone has enough money; they will try to achieve more and more facilities. This high demand can shift the price of those facilities a bit up, ultimately causing inflation and recession!

Apart from the mentioned two approaches we do have several charity organizations working for them providing shelters, economic and educational support and healthcare etc. The number of such organization never decline...

Still we have 295,873,856 individuals in absolute poverty (whereas China has 84,971,992 in number though it is populated than us).^[1]

If it was the problem of isolated individuals, it could’ve been solved by the initiation of a few people (say blood donation -which can be solved completely if we get a single individual to donate blood -), and we wouldn’t have had ~24% (~6% in china) absolute poor people!

If it is not a problem of individual and there are crores suffer from this particular condition –namely ‘poverty’- why don’t we -the citizen- call it as a social issue?

No individual or organization is responsible to look after them. Still we volunteer to help them and nothing changes in the end… Still we are happy!!!

Why are we happy on helping 'the poor’? May be it make us feel good, providing an impression ‘kind man!’ in the society.

(On the other hand it is a social issue, Govt are responsible to take policy for their betterment. For my wonder our Govt ask us to help them say via 'give it up'!)
