A Global Family

Global Extreme Poverty

When a mother cooked a family meal she fed everyone in the family. She even fed the young ones, who did not yet have the capability to help her prepare the meal. To do otherwise would be unloving. Not the trait of a caring mother. She could have said: "go and fend for yourself," or, "go ask the neighbors." But that would not be reasonable. It would cripple the children. It would hurt the family. She gradually showed the children how to prepare a meal. They watched, they learned, and they practiced. As they grew up, they acquired the ability to prepare a meal for others. And so they gave. And they too helped others learn how to prepare a meal. It was a healthy family. ... How strong is our human family : the family without borders and flags? If it isn't strong, then Why? Is it about money, or is it about heart? Everyone deserves to know Why. And everyone needs. www.justknowwhy.org
