Blog Action Day 08 - poverty

"Affluence creates poverty"

Marshall McLuhan

Three short words that say it all, for me. Affluence creates poverty, not just in the conventional sense of the word. Affluence creates poverty of the spirit, poverty of the soul and poverty of compassion.

Wealth of spirit, soul and compassion is what is needed in our world, today more than ever. This wealth would , in turn, go a long, long way to relieving poverty in the conventional sense of the word.
