Humanity

In some countries poor people are visible and in others they are not. In India humanity is on display. A country must have poor and rich people. In some countries the poor people are kept hidden. In rich countries charity never begins at home and helping the poor means helping people in some far away land and in some other country. Human beings get emotional but in some countries only certain emotions are allowed. So a man who is heart broken will use the gun before he sheds tears. In rich countries people are picky about everything and this inhibits experiencing life in its entire form. Certain jobs pay less and you are poor. But that is alright. You do that for a while and you or your children try to climb up. And this struggle gives meaning to life. But in rich countries such jobs are exported and unemployed people live on money given as handouts. Its better to be poor than live off handout money. Especially in India where Karma defines a person's life even after death. Some idiotic economists propagate the idea that sending jobs offshore is good. I do not think outsourcing jobs is good for anyone. Jobs outsourced to India limit creativity and people soon find themselves in a rut. It erodes the quality of life and aspirations. Self sufficiency and exchange of services is better.
