When the rich have fun?

The dress of poverty

Any reason why the rich need to look for the poor when it is said that “there will always be the poor among us”. Could it be that the rich are so consumed in their material possessions that the only time when they have fun is when they think about the poor and still do not know where to find them? How ironic and funny that they are right next to them, but still remain insignificant! The big question is: Why are they looking for the poor?

Is it not interesting or should I say controversial to see the poor man trying to get the rich man’s attention and yet he cannot hear? What happened to the rich man’s senses? He’s looking, but cannot see. The poor man is calling, but he cannot hear. He is so close to touching him, but cannot feel. Whatever happened to him before he accrued all these gadgets! Could they have desensitized him? Could this luxury have blinded him to the cries of the needy or could he be consumed by his own insecurities and worries of maintaining this lifestyle?

The poor on the other hand, sometimes suffers the dependency syndrome on the rich man, community and/or state? Or, could it be the bad vibes felt around the despondent poor who sees no sign of hope? Could it be that the rich man is looking for the poor’s whereabouts to hide so that he can have fun undisturbed?

I wonder what his real needs are in this lifestyle he is having. At least the poor man knows and acknowledges that he needs to have his basic needs like food to survive, but can the rich man tell?

Could they both be wearing the poverty apparel that is just dressed differently? The beautiful and expensive clothes covering a fear of losing the material possessions and that of the poor man looking like there’s no covering, but also having the fear of lack? Could they both be distressing by expressing their fear through having ‘fun’ for the rich man and the poor begging or even approaching the rich man for help to support his family? The question maybe could be: Could they both be struggling to have money? Some people claim that rich people still work in order to stay rich and poor people struggle to keep their possessions.
