Rich or Poor

Note(ofcourse at the beginning itself): Anyone out there with a perverted mind of serving the poor people, I advise you guys not to read this article.

"I asked my friend's little daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up.

She said she wanted to be Prime Minister some day.

Both her parents, Labour supporters, were standing there, so I asked her,"If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all those poor people on benefits." Her parents beamed, and said, "Welcome to the Labour Party!"

"That's a worthy goal!" I told her, and continued, "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that. You can come over to my house,mow the lawn, pull weeds, sweep my drive and I'll pay you �25. Then I'll take you over to that homeless chap who hangs out in front of the store. You can give him the �25 to use toward food."

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless man come over and do the work himself and you can just pay him the �25?""
This is India.
I am new to blogging, but after reading the above post somewhere I am deeply moved by the way the girl thinks. Just think guys, a small girl who doesnt know much about the world around her could think so sensibly what about us? I come across people asking me to donate generously for the cause of poor people. Why should we donate for poor people? Are they deprived of anything that a normal human is supposed to have? Are they disabled??
Some days back I was listening to some fm, and the program was about serving the poor. For 1 hour continuously I was listening, waiting to find atleast one reasonable caller who can say service is for disabled not for the poor. How did this foolishness creep into us? May be our Indian culture has taught us to give when someone doesnt!!
So lets pause a while and start thinking, Why is someone rich and why is someone poor???? Someone is rich because maybe his dad is/was rich, he has worked his ass out to earn that money. So why cant every poor guy in India work and earn his bread? Why should he beg? "Donors exist, beggars exist". When people are corrupt, people atleast ask money for the work they do(ofcourse anyway they are supposed to do). That is justifiable because they are greedy. But what about donating? We donate money just because we feel its something godly. We feel a sense of heroism in donating, and a tag added to that "generously". First we should understand, better not donate than to donate to some unworthy guy.
This blog is for me to write some crap and post. Anyone who doesnt agree with my feelings can just stfu and getlost. I am not requesting you to comment on my post.
