According to Forbes magazine, the 400 richest people in the world hold assets equivalent to the assets of half of the population of the planet.
While I support freedom, capitalism and democracy, how will we explain to our children and grand children that given this statistic, roughly 40,000 people died needlessly today (and every day) from hunger and persistent starvation?
If you are reading this, you are lucky. You are one of the richest people on the globe. If you can afford a computer and internet and even macaroni for your next meal you are in the top 5% in worldwide wealth. If you have a safe place to sleep tonight, you are one of the lucky. By a twist of fate we happen to have been born into a country where we can do as we please and expect an education that most take for granted.
I wonder if we ever truly appreciate what we have been given?
