Many people don't realize that the poor are actually very nice. They are ignored just because they cannot speak for themselves opposing the government. But I've come to know that the poor people do no harm at all to the selfish and rich part of the world, even if they are surrounded by it. In this essay you will learn about how kind the poor are, how this lack of food will effect their lives and how the poor will start blaming their family's death on the rich.

The ones who are unfortunate accept almost everything that we give them. Once my dad gave a poor man only twenty-five cents. I tried to encourage my dad to give him more than one dollar but my dad wouldn't budge. Then I looked at the poor man in an confused way. The man just smiled back and said thank you. Like once M.K. Gandhi said, "Action expresses, priorities" Meaning that whatever we do counts.

Another reason is that without their needs met, the poor will die quicker than the rich. Like once in India I saw a person or two completely malorished or starving. The reason for this is that the richer people like me don't care about the poor. The rich just think that the poor will survive this way or the other. But the problem is that once everyone starts thinking like that the poor won't survive where ever they go. This is a reason why the poor die quickly without their needs.

If we continue this behavior with our poor friends they will take advantage of our selfishness. This statistics is proven by M.K. Gandhi who once said, "A coward who is incapable of exhibiting love, it is the prerogative of the brave" The poor will take advantage by talking about our weaknesses in the public. Like once I saw a lady blaming a richer person than her for her son's death. Later I figured out that this took place because the lady's family did not have any food and they lived under a dirty highway.

Other people should care about this because the poor are so nice that they never ask for anything in a bullying form. So I think we should start giving them a little more so that they won't blame their family's death on us, so that they won't die of hunger and best of all so that they are thankful for LIFE! But in the mean time I will be asking to myself, "Will they ever get what they need?"
