Respect

Why is there so much poverty in the world? I wonder, time and time again. Many people are born poor. Many become poor. Some have to pay the price for past mistakes, others chose to be poor. Whatever the reason - eradicating all poverty seems, sad but true, a mission impossible. While we can and should try to help overcome extreme states of poverty, poverty itself won't disappear.
However, what we all can do is to respect every person as a human being.
No matter whether rich or poor, everybody's soul deserves respect!
