Many believe that poverty is the reason for evil. Indeed there may be a basis for this comment, yet is it really the reason for evil? Recently sitting down with a group of folks in a little town on a not so busy cross roads in the middle of nowhere, we started talking about poverty and someone said that; Poverty is the Reason for Evil.
Now then as I interject those truisms to their finding that poverty is the reason for evil, which is evident from observation, we must also admit that Abundance makes humans weak and free from want and as many a former great Civilization can attest decadent. Is Abundance evil too? And if Abundance is evil and poverty is also evil then what is Good? Is there no Good only evil? Or is it the individual, which needs to take responsibility to them selves?
A life experience of one who has nothing is not necessarily unfulfilled and a person who has no thing is not necessarily seared from their purpose. Blooming where you are planted is practically a universal fact of life; in fact the famous Jurassic Park quote by the DNA scientist was; Life will find a way!
Poverty is not evil in its self, nor is it the cause. Evil is something that humans seem to develop along with hate. It is unfortunate indeed. However there are Wealthy evil doers and poverty stricken murderers. Is economic status truly the end all be all for labeling of Good or evil. Think on this in 2006.
