Poor People

Poor people are also people: “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth” Mankind has always had poor people within them there is nothing that makes us think that this will change in coming years, especially in a system that, as reported the Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, adores and despises things to people. Let there be rich and poor is a condition with which we will live forever as there is no real intention to introduce a truly supportive regulations, whereby there is an effective redistribution of wealth and avoid the calamity to which we turn in each Once there are fewer people richer, but much more rich and more poor people but much poorer. The Brazilian sociologist Josue de Castro, did a crude analysis of poverty and titled “Geography of hunger.” Among other things he wrote that “… in the world two-thirds of people do not eat. The remaining third did not sleep for fear of rebellion by those who do not eat. ” Whether out of fear or the intention to appease the remorse impetuous staying in the consciousness of those who have not yet seared, has defined some social assistance programs to help the poor to make life easier. These social programs have a concept based on human solidarity and their purpose is generous. They have a purpose which, if met, would solve many of the disagreements and rebellions problems threatening the state of peace and harmony we all dream.

Unfortunately, the philosophy that social programs are designed far from the contempt and neglect characteristic of their application. Poor people are entitled to be treated in the public hospital network. In theory no one should die for lack of medical care. But in practice the poor are subjected to long queues and inhumane in some cases start at three in the morning and end at eight, when a doorman, poor he, too, but trained by force of circumstances to put face hard, he says, without a hint of pity in his face: “They ran out of chips.” And no tears it’s worth, or claim, nor beg. At the gates that lead to emergency room patients penalties for self care, “for the love of God.” But for the sake of regulation (and fear to throw him) the officer on duty makes a gesture of denial. And citizens must return home with his back pain and bitterness in the soul stuck. What are the programs for the poor if they comply with filosoia to help the needy? Why the poor are not treated as what they are first class citizens, worthy of utmost respect and consideration from its other compatriortas? (Almost all as poor as he.

When the queues will end that poor people are sunning or subjected to more intense cold of the endless dawn to get a service which is worthy? Whatever happens, wherever we are, no one should forget this: people are people too.
