The weak and poor of the world

Ever notice how the world favours the rich and powerful rather than the poor or lowly? Its like, if someone is struggling financially, they may get overdrawn on their bank account. Rather than the bank seeing they are in a fix and help them get back in the black they will stick a dirty big fee on them so they are even more in debt than what they started out at!

A couple may be happily co-existing in the normal throes of family life. What if the husband dies, and leave a widow and one, two, or more children behind? The woman not only having to deal with the loss of her beloved, and finding ways to make ends meet so her off-spring don't suffer in ways they shouldn't have to, may start to struggle financially. She has lost her husbands income, which may have been substantial. But she still has most of the same expenses involved in running the home and providing for her children. What do the big companies or government do? Rather than letting her continue with many of the concessions married couples will get, they then penalize her for being a widow, and she is in fact far worse off financially than she was when her husband was alive, but now because they have taken off the concessions and she still has most of the same outgoings, she is expected to pay out more money, on a fraction of the budget she had when her husband was alive. So, again, she may get into difficulties. The world has gone mad!! The bible talks of taking care of widows and orphans, yet the above proves, its far removed from how society works in any way at all!! |
