Pictures of poverty that will tear your eyes
Pictures below might give you a headache, might be very disturbing, you might not be able to stand them and burst into tears. While browsing and collecting these pictures I felt heavy eyes, an uneasiness, and tears dropping at my keyboard. This might be very hard to take, view the pictures below on your own risk. The only reason I am posting this is to remind people to appreciate what they have, and give your contribution to the world by not complaining all the time. Another reason I post this is that, Americans can give so much charity to their local churches but change the channel when their is information upon how they can help in a special cause to defeat poverty or at least bring smiles on poverty. And it is their choice, they have the right to spend and give their money to whom ever they may wish, but all I am saying is that we should be concerned about other people, not named Israel. They have gotten enough from America, in fact sometimes i blame them for the economic problems we are going through. But let's not get off-topic. Please give a minute and view the pictures below.
One of the most luxurious homes in Africa, and I am not kidding. This photo below reminds me of something my teacher shared with me. He is a very strong man, very funny, absolutely chill kind of personality, and also is very smart but he shared his visit to Africa with us. He went to a very stable part of Africa in South Africa, in fact he was born in South Africa. I don't know what struck him but he went into the poor parts of South Africa in order to catch a few glimpses of poverty. And this is really getting very hard for me to write about but I'll go ahead and finish the story. He takes a picture of a girl just like the one in picture below, and almost the same background, just a little bigger home. After taking the picture he bends his knees and touches the girl's cheeks and asks her, "What do you think of your home?" My teacher's brother translates for him and then he translates the little girl's answer to my teacher. In English the answer was "this is one of the luxuries of our village and papa says that I am the queen of this village". By now my teacher was in tears, and the whole class was shocked, because we had never thought that our cool teacher would ever cry in front of us over anything. After he manages to get his eyes dry, he said somewhere along the following lines" when I heard those words, I felt like I had a heart attack, or some sort of tumor, because I knew that I am me but I couldn't see anything, everything seemed dead to me, and I felt if someone had put me in a black prison". The good thing is that my teacher bought the little girl and her family a new house.

Below is an example of today's young guns leaving their elders on the streets.
They have to find a way through lines when a noble guy comes and is giving away the most precious thing for poor people, Food.
Poverty limits personal choice.

Poverty in the most strongest nation of this world, United States of America.
And we spend thousand on things that make us smell good.
When Dog is no longer a Pet.
Doesn't he deserve to play instead of carry his family on his legs.
And then comes Africa, where Poverty is endless.
