The Rich and the Poor

Today's world is separated in this one big cluster of stupidity called society. It's what separates the rich from the poor, the talented from the untalented, the yin with the yang. And it has been really bad lately. The rich and the poor is a very common example. You can't help but notice the increasing rate of homelessness and poverty. While on the other hand, there are extremely wealthy people that have no worries in life other than not knowing what to spend their money on. These two groups are the complete opposite and it shows. A 66 year old business owner states that possession of items is what separates the rich from the poor. I completely disagree.   

There are people that sleep on concrete every night yet their hope is still pure. And there are people that swim in loads of cash knowing that there are human beings in the world that are in necessity of money yet they don't give. My parents told me that it's not how much money you make in a week that profiles you rich or poor. But the amount of soul and love you have for others. This separation is not needed and shouldn't happen. All men and women are created equal as one, therefore we have the job of helping each other out no matter what the situation is. We are human beings, nothing else. We shouldn't be divided by the amount of money we make, which is why society is to blame.

It is every one's job to stop this division between these two distinguishing groups. Don't let a homeless person sit in desperation and hopelessness. Help him out in anyway you can. If this keeps continuing it will all remain as it is, separated. The rich will stay greedy, the poor will stay with no hope, and society will separate us all as we know it.
     

Rich?? Poor??

In my opinion I believe Shillman is correct. I say this because he is an example of how not everybody has to stay poor. He worked to be able to have a huge mansion. So when people say that they are "bound to poverty" they are 1oo% in correct. They have to be able to put in the effort to be able to become a success. Success, or money, is not handed to everybody.

Some people like Marianne McDonald have money and success practically handed to them on a silver plate. Unfortunately most people have to work for their success in life. Although times are hard in America due to our economy, it is not impossible. People such as Shillman are an example of how it's not impossible and in fact is 100% possible. It might be challenging but it's possible.

I believe we have this gap between the rich of poor for many different reasons. One reason may be because of  where, who, and when you are born. If your family is poor and your family doesn't encourage you to go and do what you are supposed to do (school and work) you may or may not be successful. 

A second reason is because it depends on the individual. Some people are handed money others are not. The person who is not handed the money must work to get it. Whether they do it or not is the question and which gives you the gap between the rich and poor.

It's no body's job to fix the gap between the rich and poor. As I said earlier it depends on the individual to choose which they want to live in. Poverty, or wealthy. This gap cannot be fixed because people are lazy! They don't want to get up early in the morning to go to school, then work and come home late at night. It's just a  reality that is never going to be perfect.

The wiiiiidddddeeeeee Gap!

The bridge between the rich and the poor is much to large. I can't say what is right and wrong, but I believe there is a stopping point. I do believe you work for what ever you are going to receive in life. If you do not work hard you should not receive something you "want" instead of a need. The man who built his company from the ground up deserves to sit back enjoy his hard work. He worked hard for many years and he is now reaping what he sewed.

I believe the gap between the rich and poor occurs because of difference of opinions. The rich think the poor are lazy and want things handed to them. Sometimes that is the case, but that is not always the case. Some people actually can not change the things that cause them to be homeless or poor. The poor think the rich are  greedy, because they do not hand out money that they have worked for. The bridge is far, because of 1 big mis-communication. Both groups are to busy finding each others flaws.

It is both groups job to fix the problem. The poor needs to stop asking for favors, and get up off their buts and try to do something to change their situation. If the rich do not like the "greedy" label maybe they should give money to soup kitchens or something needed. I honestly don't think the gap can be fixed. Neither group wants to admit their flaws. It will most likely stay like this or only get worse. This is honestly the only time the middle-class is safe.
