The Rich and The Poor

A few days ago, I have read 2 articles on the paper. These articles are about a rich young guy and a poor granny with her grandchildren respectively, overall, the articles are about the rich and the poor.

The rich young guy is come from a wealthy family and his friends are those celebrities in the US, e.g. Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohann. This rich young man has bodyguards and he alone spends for his living in a week is about millions of Ringgit Malaysia. He lives at a luxury hotel and eats and drinks well and enjoys his life in the clubs/pubs. He able to spend RM2 million in a night just for the champagne, and moreover, he breaks the world record to pay for the world champagne. To keep it short, this young man is enjoying his life by spending so much money in a very short time.

On the other hand, the poor granny who lives together with her 3 grandchildren are suffering very much in their life. The only income for these poor is from the granny. This granny collects the old paper or boxes and sold them then only managed to have some few ringgits. The stationery and the clothes that are using and wearing by the grandchildren are collected by the granny from the rubbish dump. 2 packs of instant noodles are sharing by 4 people as their meal. When they are run out of money, only drink water to fulfil their stomach. To keep it short, these poor people are suffering from their life due to no money.

So, what is in your mind when you read these 2 ‘stories’? Probably some people will say that some are borne to be rich as they are lucky enough, and for those who are lack of fortunate, tend to become poor. For me, I think for those who are kind enough or able to contribute, why don’t they give some support to those who is needed.

If I was the parent of the rich young guy above, I’ll feel ashamed. The reason is he has spent so much in enjoying his life! If he has spent that money to the people who need, e.g. the victims of the earthquake, the poor, etc. I’ll say he’s a kind-hearted man. Sorry, I have to say he’s a nobody to me but a useless man.

So, how about you? What do you think of the rich and the poor?!
