After discussing with teacher and classmates last week, I found that my issue was too large for me to research. What I really want to discuss and the video I was intereating in were about poverty and didn't have any connect with crime. So I decide to focus on poverty.
When we were young, our parents always wished us and also, taught us to be a person who was ''successful''. What was the meaning of ''successful''? Most of them may give us an answer: To being rich. On top of that, I take a course about the meaning of Buddhism literature in this semester. When teacher was talking about karma, he said that the every decisions and choices we make in our life will decide what kind of life will we live after we reborn again. The example of that different life he told us was: rich or poverty. Many news about doctors’ overwork which caused their death gradually be heard. Their family members cried out for hospital's fatal system which caused their dearly relative had to work over ten hours a day and finally death of overwork themselves. There was another example for doctors' overwork which made them loose their health. A doctor suddenly had apoplexy when he was giving an operation to his patient, after his awake, he could not recognize his wife who has a son with him. His wife asked hospital for 38 million NT dollors to indemify their lost. She thought that the reason which caused his husband's apoplexy was overwork. Why should they work so hard, and why people are always desire for being rich?
In the video I shared before: Muhammad Yunus- Grameen Bank, Yunus talked about poverty problem in Bangladesh. I was interesting in his idea about Grameen Bank, I first read the information about his idea about poverty was in an economic weekly periodocal. Yunus got Nobel Piece Prize that year and he gave people a new principle about poverty. He thought that the poor was not willing to being poor, what cause their poverty was the society and justice that was judged by the nation with power and fortune. When I first read this word, I got a question: If basic life conditions cause people in undeveloped country desire for money, for us, people live in developed country with sufficient substance life style, why we always desire for money, power and space? Do we really need such lots of money to prevent ourselves from being poor?
Face the question about why we work so hard to giant money? Some may answer that they don't want to fall in the circle of poverty. I don't think that was the real reason, the truth of keeping pursue material life is that people will never satisfy with what they have already own. The true poverty is not their life; the true poverty is in their heart- their psychological poverty. In this society, fashion, brand and luxury are advocated by celebrities and media. People keep working hard for money and fortune just for earning their 'space'. Not only house or the place to live but also the power space which can give them a title of their fame like doctor who or professor who; and also, the boss. I will discuss some conditions from book and news to support my idea of psychological poverty.
