Hello steemians,
i've read so many inspiring steemit life changing stories, today i upvote and quote a comment from Fukumineko:
your story is touching and inspiring me because you explain how life can quickly turn bad having an accident then being in trouble with debt and fortunatly finding a way to become financially free and be able to reconnect with your passion and feel human again.
I cant even save a penny nor spoil myself a decent double shot espresso at a local coffee shop. Fukumineko
The current society economic model is totally unbalanced as the Rich continue to be richer at the expense of the poorest.
82% of the money generated in 2017 went to the richest 1%
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-42745853
Half of the worlds wealth now in hands if 1% of population
80% of hymanity lives on less than 10$ a day
22 000 children die each day because of poverty
http://www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats
We all know this world is outragously unfair depending on where you are born.
The question is what could we do about it?
Help the poor giving money to charity fund is great but is it a long term viable solution?
I think it is a great short term solution to help the poor to provide the minimum they absolutly need now but in a long term perspective we need to help the poor countries to get out of debt and construct a solid economy to provide job , education and hospitals...
Create a fair new economic model
What is the point anayway to accumulate indifinitively more and more money?
1.5% tax on billionaires could educate all the world's children
There is no reason to let people accumulate money over a billion $ as it only provide power and doesn't change their quality of life.
I think we could put a worldwide hard cap on personal weatlh. If somebody get over 1 billions $ all the profits are reinvested to create a strong economy worlwide, build schools and hospitals in poor countries...
If the richest countries combined would participate with 1% of their income it would end extreme poverty worlwide next 20 years
10% of world military spending could knock off poverty
Why do we still need to go at war? Do you really want to kill friendly steemians? Do we really want a nuclear war?
This is totally ridiculous how we could let it happens, it just blow my mind how we don't arrive to unit worlwide to fight such disgrace.
Our system need to change, we need to help the less fortunate to access a decent life, get out of debt.
As fukumineko story shows us the income effect of steemit has change her life, gave her back confidence and passion to live happy, got out of debt and feel human again.
Crypto demonstrate a new viable economic model, how we can actively change lifes simply sharing rewards, i hope it will inspire humanity to finally find a better equilibrium.
Richer could finally find enought heart to help the less fortunate person to have a decent life.
It is not a matter of political convictions but human dignity.
Richer we are bigger is our responsability to help for a better world.
I am sure the only way to peacefully change our future goes with communication to create waves of global awakening.
Share your toughts!
Thanks @damarth for bringing up this sort of discussion. Well from where I come the rich just keep getting richer and the poor keeps getting poorer. Nigeria is a land blessed with so many wonderful gifts but our corrupt leaders are not willing to move the Nation foward with it. I livr in a country where the approved minimum wage is #18,000 and to rent an apartment will cost you #15,000 above a month.
I remember growing up things was very difficult for us because the government refused to pay my father and other workers salary for over a year, things was so bad that we couldn't feed, some days my sister will win free drinks from promo organized by beverage companies and we'll sell them to buy roadside food to survive. But as bad as this period was for us there were people that were experiencing hardship far worse and when I think of this I feel my heart burn.
The gap between the poor and the rich in my society is just so alarming. People can't feed, cloth themselves, go to school and there are many homeless around us.
We as individuals should always seek to help those that are less priviledged in any little way we can. Change starts from individuals, one day some of us here will be in position of power and if we don't have the right attitude now we won't be different from our failed leaders.
I have been habouring ideas of using steemit to affect the life of those lesser priviledged I see everyday especially the little kids that are starving, these kids beg to survive and I see them everyday. Hopefully I'll be able to start up a project on steemit which if successful will enable me to provide at least 1 meal a day for them.
"82% of the money generated in 2017 went to the richest 1%" - Unfortunately in the crypto world, the same thing happens as on Steemit - the number SP affects the distribution of the reward pool. But trying to change this at least to some extent in the crypto space will bear fruit - I'm sure. Already, new models of thinking among the world's richest people are visible. In this article, I reflect on the emergence of a new spiritual paradigm, the new religion of the crypto generation - https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@osoznanieedinogo/2018-1-26t23-06-01 I hope you like the way my thoughts go. I believe that without spiritual evolution, people can not build anything more perfect and just.
Hello @damarth
I read through @fukumineko comment... The truth is there are a lot of similar cases out there just like hers.
But there's always a thing or two to learn from these kind of stories.... When life hits you to the ground.."Stand up.. Dust your cloths and keep walking!"
She did that... And along the way she found steemit!
Every devoted Steemian has a good story to tell... Just like her, i could choose to quit my job today and focus on Steemit! Because working for Steemit for the past 26 days has paid me better than any job I've ever had.
I have always felt that taking from the rich and giving it to the poor is not the way out.
For me the only way to help the downtrodden is to create better jobs, more opportunities, more tools, more jobs and more jobs to improve their incomes and fairer treatment in economic policy.
In the event that all this isn't achievable... Am sure Steemit is always ready to welcome anyone with arms wide open :))
I never been appreciated at my work. I am always the underdog, the wallflower and the youngest. I never got the opportunity to be heard. My skills were not noticed only here on steemit.
Your posts make me touched and sad, because in the course of my life ,, god provide convenience for me through steemit.com @shuta
You hit the nail on the head. The fundamental issue with our financial system is access. The rich have both the access and the resources to maximize the benefits our financial system provides. The poor? Not so much. This is inherently what education is supposed to fix - and it is still the best route out of poverty - but that's a less viable route for someone who's already graduated or in a job.
I think one of the real benefits of crypto is that it's a new market which allows access to all. Many of us are still on the same standing ground in terms of access - although this is starting to change. In any event, we need more folks to see this opportunity and try to seize the opportunity. If anything, at a highly simplistic level, they will hopefully walk away with some confidence and inspiration from the crypto success stories - which is the first step we all need to start turning things around.
All that you have said here is true and we need to take a stand for ourselves and those who cannot do so
As long as the system remains as it is, nothing will change...
We are supposed to have democracy in the majority of the "civilized" countries, but what we have is a form of dictatorship: big corporations - mostly in the banking and pharmaceutical industries - are controlling the politicians and therefore the governments... They have the control over the media, "informing" the masses only on what they want...
All the facts you shared are shocking, but even more shocking is the fact that, even though it's so simple to solve the biggest problems on earth, nobody - of those who are responsible - does anything!
How can something be changed when those responsible to bring the change are those who have created it and are maintaining it...?
The biggest hope of humanity is some people and organisations that really care about humanity, they help and they fight for change...
The global expansion of the internet is giving a big power to us. It gives the opportunity to everyone to have access to information that are not controlled and/or censored by the manipullative big media...
An opportunity for everyone to have access to education which they couldn't have otherwise...
To speak up and communicate with like minded people and realise that there are many of us who think differently and who really care about humanity...
I believe the decentralised blockhain environment advances this opportunity to a whole different level... Steemit is a great example of that.
Not only it helps people like fukumineko to advance their lifestyle but it also gives the chance to people like you (and others in here) to help both practically by rewarding and also by sharing the messages of compassion, empathy and support, for creating a different and better world!
Congrats on what you are doing!
"I think it is a great short term solution to help the poor to provide the minimum they absolutely need now but in a long term perspective we need to help the poor countries to get out of debt and construct a solid economy to provide job , education and hospitals..."
I agree with you on this Sir @damarth. We need to keep helping those in need as much as we can, even if it's a temporary relief. It goes a long way @damarth. Growing up was tough, I grew up in an abusive home https://steemit.com/writing/@adedoyinwealth/the-story-of-my-life
and I try to help others who are going through what I went through.
I founded Faith, Hope and Love Foundation for the less priviledged late last year and spreading happiness to them gives me great joy.
I also organise free after school classes and skills acquisition training for the children in my community.
We recently had our NEW YEARS PARTY AT THE FOUNDATION and they all had fun(with lots of food and party packs of course)
https://steemit.com/untalented/@adedoyinwealth/new-year-s-party-at-faith-hope-and-love-foundtion
I also support them by paying their tuition fees and also supporting some of their parents to start up businesses for themselves thanks to steemit.
Your support would be highly appreciated @damarth. Thank You Sir.
@adedoyinwealth
I'm with you in this.
We're all here to make money for our families and yourself, and to make our lives easier.
I know that money doesn't make you happy, but there were times when I wasn't happy, and it was mostly becuase I lacked money.
This is actually a great way to get out of bad financial situation, and I don't why some of these people try to ruin that.
The problem with charity organizations coming to help the poor in poor countries is that they tend to teach the people how to eat fish and not how to fish. The problem become complex as they bring the fish from abroad ignoring the local fisherman who already new how to fish instead how supporting the fisherman to teach more people how to fish. In a short while even the fisherman who can no longer sell his fish as the population now depend on the little manna dropped by charity organizations. So the fishermen also foil their ship and join the queue. A long term solution would be finding program and platform to engage the community to farm and instead of bringing expert from abroad, they should partner with the locals who were already in the field. This is the shortsightedness of charity organizations
Actually the issue is that most of the charity help doesnt even reach the affected parties. I remember when there were displaced persons in my country, Nigeria. It was so disheartening when we heard that some of the relief materials donated were being sold by some of the officials who were supposed to be taking care of these persons.
This happened in my country too. So steemit is better way of helping people.
in terms of money we desperately need, because we always need to eat and petrified parents at home who can not work anymore, because my parents are old.
In terms of money, we need to help each other and see who really needs it, because very many people need money, but they are just wasting and doing nothing.
because that's us we have to see who yanh really need it.
success is always for you @damarth.
Keep sharing and see the weak.
You are very right......another issue is that many folks especially the youth who have never really had that much money to spend dont know how to manage it if it eventually comes. Something has to be done in order to teach persons how management works.....this is also why free education is necessary.
much obliged to you @dmarth for sharing such astounding contemplations..
all things considered, individuals trust that the rich are just out to help themselves and their family. what's more, surmise that one individual getting to be plainly rich means you're taking ceaselessly cash from someone else.
In any case, truly… there's nothing amiss with being rich. Having cash just makes you a greater amount of who you as of now are. For some individuals, that implies truly needing to have any kind of effect in the nature of other individuals' lives. I can consider a significant number of my customers who, after getting to be noticeably rich, have approached me for my thoughts on the ways the well off can help other people. Quickly, they needed to give back.
Dear @Damarth, let me pontificate my observations on the lines below gotten from this awesome post above ...
you have said so much already, so much is wrong everywhere, the rich continue in wealth, d poor get pioneer, but we can't continue depending on government, they have nothing for us, that's why crypto is the new way to go, we need to arise and save humanity in deed not on words, so many people suffering, yet the world is in so much resources, this is food for thought @Damarth. Thank you
I have to add that richest countries also have poverty and they are collapsing under debts. The system is so unsustainable that the vast majority of countries are in debt and don't find solutions to help their citizens.
thank you @dmarth for sharing such amazing thoughts..
well, people believe that the rich are only out to help themselves and their family. and think that one person becoming rich means you’re taking away money from another person.
However, the truth is…there’s nothing wrong with being rich. Having money only makes you more of who you already are. For many people, that means genuinely wanting to make a difference in the quality of other people’s lives. I can think of many of my clients who, upon becoming rich, have asked me for my ideas on the ways the wealthy can help others. Immediately, they wanted to give back.
These people have inspired me to believe that you can do a lot more good when you’re rich than when you’re broke or struggling. After all, money struggles don’t serve you, and they certainly don’t serve anyone else.you can donate and give back to the society in many ways.
I agree we should be able to be richer because it is a source of motivation to be productive and creative. Find new technology, create company and employ people. I don't think it is a solution to have the same salary for everybody but i also don't think it is necessary to accumulate billions and billions of $ while so many humans are dying of poverty.
We should finb a fair equilibrium. It is not a simple problem to solve for sure but clearly we are far away to do the necessary efforts.
But its better to be a enterprenuer than work for others.. As in the case of fukumineko you can see her salary was low to fulfill her daily needs.. She was in debt and miserable condition.. This issue is everywhere either in gov job or private sector specially teachers salaries are to low.. I did job as vice principal for one year in public sector school with 600 plus student but teachers salaries were from 6sbd to 15sbd.. Mine was 15sbd per month.. Here i am converting my currency in sbd..
So i decided to do either continue my study or my own business.. I found steemit two months ago and finding it much much better than anything else.. As it is giving me financial freedom and work from home opportunity.. With kids it is difficult to join any institute or go outside home for job.. I am also facing financial issues since last 3 years.. And raising up my kids with limited resources so want to help my husband in raising income..
It is very difficult being a mother to be underpressure for kids treatment or better diet.. Many times i faced a situation when my kid was sick and i borrowed money for her treatment or other hand did not go to doctor due to lack of money.. Its not necessary having billions but at least we should have sufficient to raise our kids with grace.. I alwaus felt bad to borrow its like begging to some one.. And tell them your difficulties and face their eyes with disgrace.. So i am now more confident as i am doing an earning better...
Thanx damarth for giving a platfrm for listening others stories and sharing ours.. Its a big motivation..
I wrote a post about my friends and there are few words for yoy.. I ll be happy if you visit it..
you are right there ! convinced on the point that we should find a fair equilibrium..thanks for making your perspective more clear to me
@damarth don't forget the saying, "All fingers are not equal". Everyone cannot stay on an equilibrium salary level unless the monies circulate well. If we create job opportunities for them, they'll be patronized by the rich also and in the other way round,the less privilege will also patronize the rich. They'll be an inflow of money. I think this may put the rich and the poor on balanced salary income.
This is really true @damarth . I come from a country whereby a lot of people cannot feed properly. I am a photographer and I do a bit of street photography from time to time.. The amount of seeming hopelessness is overwhelming. Some people cannot afford even a simple satchet of water while others live in plenty and throw away money like its a normal thing. I once asked myself how the world would be if we didn't have extremely rich people or extremely poor people and I couldnt answer that because if I am to be realistic, the rich are getting richer while in fact the poor are getting poorer. I am not sure there is a single answer ro the world's problem of poverty and suffering, but I know that we can help. We can be kind , you and I . We can show love and help others. We can feel emphathy or feel sympathy. If we all lived by the golden code that says "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", I am sure the world would be a better place.. I think before we talk about the rich in high places, our little kind gestures can go a long way to putting a smile on another human's face..
Nice thejotographer, thank you for sharing your comment.
Crypto currencies are definitely changing the lives of many people. STEEM is one of the greatest platforms that has a community which can share between each other without actually even losing anything of their own. Retaining your crypto and giving to others at the same time is something that I have never seen again.
And I think there shouldn't be any money spent on weapons and military at all. I mean, we should be one big friendly world, and focus on developing technology and so on, but not spend billions to fight each other. And all that money could actually be used to change the life quality of many countries. Why fight if we can share?
Thanks@damarth
A major problem affecting the development and growth of the economy and universe at large is segregation just like you highlighted earlier. Not just in third world countries but even in developed flourishing countries. The hard stench of inequality is glued to the major aspect of governance and survival.
A fat line is drawn between several levels of the society even between genders. That because I am a female, so many jobs are not allocated to me, even if I have the clarifications. I can’t become a judge as a female without 20 years of experience but a man can, I can’t perform in some sporting activities that my body has no reaction to, but a man can, I can’t get some jobs at the national level if I am not friends with the politicians or if my father’s name isn’t recognized.
Equality of rights entrenched are neglected with the force and quest for money that a poor or average man has no say where a political entity stands.
Money breeds self-reliance and independence but her unending surge has opened most men to the unending tunnels of wanting always rather than needing.
For global inequality to be eradicated to a large extent, the minds of the society and nations have to be reconfigured and renewed in creating a free, fair and easily accessible platform for growth opened to all just like STEEMIT.
I am currently a student in Nigeria who recently joined the steemit community with the hope of getting intellectual and financial empowerment and I really appreciate the fair platform without segregation to your gender, country or identity. Platforms for hard work has to be reviewed and created in the society with no bounds of segregation for a high staple of growth in the universe.
Very good post, salary inequality between women and man are so absurd, why humans like to feel superior and think we are differents for fallacy reasons, we are all from the same race: HUMAN .
I'm so glad that there are cryptos in the world . As a doctor I see a lot of suffering and pain and I try to help as much as I can. But the money is the main problem, that is why I think that cryptos will change all of that and steemit as well. I try to educate people with my posts here and I hope everyone will try to do the same in their field of expertise. That is the only thing we can do, one good deed at the time :)
Sad but true sis @fukumineko that our country is the second corrupt country in Asia and its all because of politicians who have their self interest to hold a power to manipulate everything and this is the reason why people in the country have a high percentage of poor or less fortunate people.
But thanks for the technology because it is one way to help the people thru financial, a platform like #steemit and the evolution of money which is the Crypto is a huge impact to us. It helps lot of people changed their lives I know some friends who become millionaires because of this technology and they are ordinary people who earns minimum wage for long time but havent earn enough but because of this crypto they become millionaires and now live happily and financially free they also leave their jobs and focus on Crypto because they earned more in crypto than their jobs.
Thanks for the technology and as well as this Steemit platform this is the real life changing community. Sharing our skills, knowledge and talents and earnings more than a regular employees salary some of us here earned more than managerial position.
Cheers to all who engaged in this technology!
Regards to @damarth for opening our mind and sharing this blog to share our thoughts about life.
Hey @damarth this post is not a cry for help for me. I am okay doing fine with my ability to eat two square meals a day everyday. I just recently finished my university and I am trying to find my balance in life, in terms of of employment. I come from Nigeria, a country where truly the rich are making sure the poor become poorer. The economic stance of the country is now soo bad that the average man can no longer afford three square meals a day. But this is not where I am headed, on my way to church I normally pass a charity home that takes care of children whose parents abandoned them, more popularly referred to as the orphanage home or the fatherless and motherless childrens home. I have been passing there for a while but lack the incentive to go in mostly because I don't have enough to give them, not to even mention myself. This things hurts me deeply inside of me because I myself am an orphan. My parents were once wealthy and as fate would have it, they died in a motor accident, till today I still think they were setup. This world you see is a very cruel place. I was 6 years old st the time and the only child of my parents. Family members divided my parents properties and left me in the care of a very wicked and bitter uncle. You would think I was the cause of his misfortunes. It seemed like everywhere I go, bad things happen. I ended up running away from my uncle and hustling on the streets. I am not proud to say I picked pockets to feed sometimes when I just couldn't bear it. As fate would have it i was discovered by a non-governmental organization (DREAM ALIVE). They put me through school to be who I am today and am forever grateful to them. I started doing small business of selling water and graduated to delivery business, that was how I helped myself through university, although with the help of some members of DREAM ALIVE who BE believed in me after seeing how I passed in my secondary school year. God has been gracious towards me, even finding my way to Steemit. So you see why it pains me that I am not able to do one or two things for these children. I have never really told anyone online my true life story before because I don't want them to pity me or look down on me. Thank you for the opportunity and I hope to be able to impact too just as I was impacted upon.
Digital forms of money are unquestionably changing the lives of numerous individuals. STEEM is one of the best stages that has a group which can share between each other without in reality notwithstanding losing anything of their own. Holding your crypto and providing for others in the meantime is something that I have never observed again.
Also, I think there shouldn't be any cash spent on weapons and military by any means. That is to say, we ought to be one major cordial world, and concentrate on creating innovation et cetera, however not burn through billions to battle each other. And all that cash could really be utilized to change the life nature of numerous nations. Why battle in the event that we can share?
yaah max agree with you! now cryptocurrency change life of people ! and provide him shelter and free him financial! the steemit is only one who help other to gain his aim in life!
i think every gov should take action on it and do not waste money on battle!
I totally share with her points. We live in a world where the poor keep getting poorer and the rich keep getting richer. I just got off the phone with my mother where she was complaining terrible of how sick she is and all I did was pacify her why because I have found a way in steemit. A way to earn an additional income. It is not easy being a civil servant in my country where you don't get paid until months end and nobody is willing to assist you yet you see them driving luxurious cars and living in luxurious houses. Steemit is yet to change my life but I believe someday I'll share my story just like fukumineko and no I won't be like the rest,I'll surely lend a helping hand because I have tasted poverty and I know how bitter it is. Nothing gives more joy than making someone find hope because of the helping hand you lent.good post. Thanks @damarth
I strongly agree with your opinion friends, with there steemit, can reduce the burden of life and can pay debts and can become the backbone of the family,
I absolutely love this thread! It's so amazing to find someone who still thinks this way. Trust me it's harder to find than you think.
Yes let's keep on steemin' we can change the world.
Steemit helps me to get out of poverty and living life happily, it gives me a ray of hope from depression because I was depressed when I skipped my job where I got nothing (100$ for 30 days 8 to 7 pm work). I turned myself to the steemit where I felt I can achieve somehting to live happy. At least there was a ray of hope.
Before steemit, I wasn't satisfied with my life because it didn't give me anything valuable except family. I paid my Uni fee by teaching at private school because my parents weren't afford my high tution fee.
Getting some handsome amount is okay to fulfill your needs but the real happiness is in your comfort by heart. You should feel happiness entirely not only by face. Charity groups should empower the poor community by teaching them some skills which may work for them whole life. It's okay that you give a LOAF to them but teach them how to make LOAF for yourself.
Steemit teaches us how to earn crypto currency because it has access by all and we all after it here. Global charity organizations should be like STEEMIT.
It's like I said in one of my latest posts, I managed to make a complementary income out of steemit, I even got the camera I wanted to buy for years but never had the chance to. For some people in developing countries 1 steem might even buy them a day's if not a week's lunch.
Wealth and greed leads to corruption and I doubt whether we will manage to control amd set a limit to accumulated money as you proposed. But here, in this platform we can make a difference. We can resist. We can feel like our words and work have a meaning.
Fukumineko is just one example... Let's hope to see many more like her in the future!!
It turned into a cold, darkish wintry weather’s night time during my freshman 12 months of college. i was at the neighborhood pub consuming regularly with my friends. My body changed into starting to sense it too. My brain turned into numb and fuzzy. My vision became getting a chunk blurry. My palms had been tingling and my belly become churning. I felt like I should throw up at any 2d. not looking to embarrass myself in front of my friends I stated i was heading again to the dorm and walked out of the bar.
I stumbled my manner throughout the street and took a aspect road via town to the intersection. The worst part of my journey lay in advance, although. Our campus was inside the mountains of West Virginia and the dorm I lived in was constructed on the pinnacle of a long, steep hill. I seemed up warily at it and began to walk up the sidewalk. unexpectedly, i used to be face down within the snow. The sidewalk became blanketed in ice. I had stuck myself with my arms, spraining both wrists however retaining my head from cracking into the concrete. I were given up again took extra steps and turned into down again. This time my knee took the worst of it and commenced bleeding through my blue denims. I may want to see a few students near the top of the hill guffawing at me as they watched me fall again and again. The steepest part of the hill became nevertheless in advance too and that i didn’t realize how i was going to arise it without seriously hurting myself. Then, unexpectedly, my steps regarded to get steadier. The ice was nonetheless underfoot and i used to be nonetheless extraordinarily drunk, however i used to be not falling. Slowly, step by step I made it to the pinnacle of the hill safely. I determined to give up drinking quickly after that and feature never ignored it when you consider that.
it is handiest now, but, that I see that I ought to have had a few unseen assist to make it up that icy sidewalk on that bloodless, iciness’s night time. even though I didn’t ask for it, God and His angels kept me safe that night simply as they have kept me safe generally on account that then.
I recognise this life can often seem like a long, icy hill that we have to climb and stumble our manner up. but, it is good to understand that we don’t stroll it alone. God loves us and is with us each step of the way whether we realise it or no longer. Why no longer attain out and take His hand? Why not walk with Him with love on your heart and joy in the doorstep? Why no longer bend down and assist up some others who have fallen alongside the way? in case you do you would possibly locate the hill isn’t pretty so steep. if you do you might even find yourself dancing in preference to slipping.
This share is the most sensitive and beautiful share I see. Yes, there is a capitalist system in the world we live in. And I'm sure most people have a story. The bad reminiscence I'm having with this subject is like this. I study computer engineering and do not get help from my family. and unfortunately I did not buy a computer for the first 2.5 years when I studied computer engineering. I have completed my studies with the labs of my school or my friends' computers. It was a tough process for me. And I bought a computer with the money I saved. Unfortunately features are moderate and not enough for me. That was a big problem for me. Steemit realized I was going to do n3 on this problem. The exact result for me was great. My hopes have increased a lot more. Shuan myself trying to get a computer at a sufficient level. And I've also got the hottest getting a sports motorcycle for 12 years. it was just a dream. But now I'm stronger. because there is steemite. I will buy my computer once and then my motorcycle.
the story of a very inspired me, I also believe that steemit this can boost poverty in parts of the world, steemit very helpful in all aspects of the economy, thank you to the creator steemit, I shaking 2 thumb for steemit, poverty can be retas with the formation of steemit this, I own already feel the effects of the presence of steemit, hopefully steemit always large parts of the world and can hack poverty the world, thank you @damarth top posts you share it, I will try more give than accept and help each other fellow
the heads of state need to provide the minimum level that the poor need.
All the nations need to help each other to end the poverty all over the world. But no country is carrying out this consciousness policy. all of them are the strongest I am. it is necessary to get rid of this idea.@damarth
Great post to highlight this, I read this most recent Oxfam statistic (82% of wealth for the 1%) and felt the same. These 1% have no idea how easy it is to fall into financial difficulty, I have spoken to so many people on here who, like me, were helped out of a bit of a tough time by Steemit, and plenty who have changed their lives.
The problem with the 1% is that they are also the ones who are most capable of changing the status quo, but instead list for even more wealth and inequality. In the same way the bankers carried on taking their huge bonuses while the rest of the world was reeling from the recession they caused. To me that’s not only why we need Crypto, but why it was necessitated in the first place. I’ve no doubt that this will really be the biggest redistribution of wealth the world has ever seen, and to me getting rid of banking control on the world is the first step in that.
friend, honestly we share same thought. Why acquire the whole world when you would leave same way you came "naked". We were blessed to be a blessing to others, only those who understand this, lives a fulfilling life. Just like we are been blessed through this great platform Steemit, the onion is on us to extend a hand of blessings to those around us and beyond. Success isn't an orphan, failure is. To be successful, we have to reproduce more success in others.
Wonderful post my friend, I have upvoted and followed you, I think we share this great mindset.
Please do check out this similar post of mine and see what I said too, your comment would be most appreciated.

Yes we don't feel happier being richer.
In contrary help people not to be in pain, protect animals, can create hapiness.
Above the world not everyone has the same fate and life because it is already a provision, Some are given the comfort of life since they were born with a wealthy family and some are not able do a lot when the difficulties in the sense of economic shortage they have to face since they were present in this world. There are rich people because there are poor people and all there is always crocheted in this world.
Wealth is a test in this world and so is poverty a test in this life so that we are always aware if everything we have will never last because the world will disappear over time ahead of time later. That's when we become people who have a better economy than them, then it is our duty to help each other to help them in terms of sharing for those who still slumped in life on this earth. Various will not make you fall poor because the more you are generous and share to help those who are very need it will always give reciprocity to you later because the good person will get good too. Do not need much and do not need ahrus segini and segitu, with the intention of a sincere heart is better than many but because of something you expect praise from them. If on this earth always share their difficulties and economic downturn will be overcome and we live prosper together. @damarth I salute you.
I started steemit not up to a month thinking its like other platforms which crash at the end of 2weeks but after carefull study of the rules, FAQ and following the bots and testimonies from steemians i began posting as i now see it as a platform that would be use for individual and community development
I have decided that since this is my first time of getting financial gain for upvoting and resteeming post or just surfing the internet,it would be use for charitable work at every quater of the year.
As I think the inequality will continue, but also, the creative commons will be able to get over that ill by empowering themselevs into developing freedom models that will be used to drive development at their own terms. In my country, there is nothing to point at as what we can gain from the government, so we take the well being of our lives into our hands by proving everything we need for a better life.
Rising inequality and a widening trust gap between people and their political leaders are also big challenges for the global elites.
So the world itself understand this fact but i believe with steemians as network all over the world, the world would be a better place as SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS THE BEST WORK OF LIFE.
Wao! I must admit that im impressed someone could actually talk about this, ive always believe in earning much and giving out much more, actually made plans before starting steemit that half of my proceds monthly on this platform i will give to charity, im a poet, i write on stuffs that could awaken our consciousness and make s reason that humanity os about connection and the connection is love, growing up, i have always dream of a world where you dont have to be suspicious, a world where love is the order of the day, although the payouts on my posts are not really encouraging, my dreams keep me going, i still believe in my belief
This the principle of steemit ecosystem, we share rewards together, if i get richer all steemians do :)
you've stated the sad reality of our relatively short lives on this earth. I live in a country where some people live on less than $0.20 a day while some others can afford to buy jets (plural) and jet around the world not minding the poor masses suffering to even get a single meal on their table daily. It is fine to be rich but I think ignoring the rest of your fellow suffering human being is a bit too evil.
I'm not so sure communication would help us in this case. We have been communicating and running campaigns to help the poor or the sick.some people end up helping, the rest hear and understand but decide not to help. I think this idea should be better instilled in people from early days. That's the period when ideas are better taken in as humans. I just think the future has a better chance of working. Our current world is just a sad place. Changing our world is a gradual process But I believe it can and will get better
@Fukumineko read your story which is motivational and also lesson full story.. i just want to say that never hopeless because hopeless is cowardness... fight with life it's to tuff but life is an opportunity to go to highest level of glory unless you can not fight ... i agreed with you i read your comnt below you write we live in the world 2nd corrupt country in Asia .. you know we also live in the corrupt country here in my nation newly born child borrow of estimate 1 lac rupes.. now you tell me how parents fill full the basic need of child.. many engineer and other educated people work in shop .. their is no job no opportunity ..many of students lose their hopes and got suicide...their is no price of life and humanity in the these corruption ...they rich go high day by day and poor go down day by day.... the need is that we fight with situation and got away to out from these problem and find batter path to serve life..and if we observed there is alote of opportunity to earn some money like steemit .. at end i really support the effort of @damarth he show some sympathy for these type of people to come arise and i think social media is best palate form to rise voice for right....
I agree. I am afraid about my students where will they go after graduation? We cant even look for a decent company where they can train. There is no opportunity here to be honest. We cant change the system then lets change and find a better way. Glad there is steemit.
Everything you said on this post is true but I have to point out that the problem of humanity is humans themselves, let me explain that : greed is our number one problem even with those that start from been poor to rich, they just seems to forget so early immediately they have and all they want it to have more and been popular, fame and powerful. The average human hungry for power, he want to be feared and respect so he think when he his the only one that have then he will be feared and have all the respect. That's why nations keep up building different kinds of weapon just to show how powerful they are. Even on steemit here there are lots of whales are they call them but how many take a look at a newbie work? Very few people like you @damarth, there are new people with great content that are not noticed but you will see someone write something like "bitcoin if so fucked " and he will get upvote of 200+sbd. Just because he's a whale or a friend to one. What am I saying if the world people can just think of others as been equal and just aim to better yourself not to over power others then and then we can change the world
Wow! First of all, I'm so proud of my dearest friend @fukumineko, the one who introduced and convinced me to join Steemit. She is one of the many good examples of how Steemit can change lives! I myself have experinced these amazing adjustments after joining Steemit and one of my advocacies being a teacher is to share this good news to the academe world!
Global inequality is a sad fact about the world we live in. Being a public school teacher for two years made me see how deep the problem in our society lies. I have seen students go to school on an empty stomach with nothing more but willingness and determination to finish school. During my conversation with one of my students, she said that the reason why she kept going despite not having enough support is that she wants to get out from the poverty she's in.
It breaks my heart seeing these students not getting the right support they need from their parents due to lack of finances. Sometimes, I would get from my own pocket to help these students accomplish the myriad of requirements needed to pass their subjects.
The sad part is that, here in the Philippines, classes would start at 7AM and would end at 5PM. Approximately 10 hours at school! Even if my Senior High School students want to get part time jobs to somehow help with their financial needs, their remaining time and energy wouldn't allow them.
I just joined Steemit last January 5, this year, and since then things have been amazing. I used to have three jobs, one of which is freelance writing. But ever since I joined Steemit, I already quit my job in Upwork and jsut dedicate "that" time for blogging on this platform.
There are so many opportunities to earn, but many people don't know it, many of my students don't know it. To them, having a job would mean doing hard labor, and that's a misconception that I want to change. I want to introduce Steemit to them, and incorporate it to our lessons. Instead of submitting a 10-page article, I want them to submit it on Steemit so they will be more inspired to do better since more people will see it, and they have a chance to earn from it if they do a great job!
This is my way to alleviate their human dignity. This is my way to create waves of global awakening in my own simple way. This is my advocacy!
I have high hopes for my students, and I have high hopes with Steemit to make this really happen!
Amazing ! Keep it up be a model of change.
All thanks to @damarth for giving us this wonderful opportunity. Addressing inequalities between countries which accounts for the dorminat part of global economic inequality requires economic diversification improving aggregate productivity and enabling the shift of workers to less fragile and better remunerated activities with safe and healthy working conditions. To achieve this, international treaties and agreements must be framed or reworked including those relating to trading rules investment agreements, intellectual property regimes and financial flow.

The cash spent by some countries on weapon and tools for war can save a lot of countries from poverty and suffering

I will never fail to appreciate Steemit because it's really a great source of upliftment from poverty.
Thanks for reading.
Even with words alone, you can help those who are in need. This is our latest charity project "street children Pampanga". My groups are composed of teenagers who dont have any jobs but with their talents and collective work we have been helping different charities for a year now. Im excited on what cn we achieve now that we stumbled upon steemit. Imagine what more can we do. Im grateful for @damarth for creating these posts as a way to educate people. We will do our part by creating the first event sponsored by Steemit this feb 13 at a Museum. We hope we could all make a change together for the better.
Steemit is hope for me. I struggled with depression for a year because of kidney failure and my life was rock bottom because of disability and unemployment, being a single mom and a lot of things going on like rejection/neglect from people I thought who'd be with me to support me in these dark times... I just recently discovered Steemit and I have gained many friends and I just got my first payout... It is real as it gets and very rewarding, empowering and liberating. It's like being in a dark tunnel for so long and now I have come to the light and seeing everything positive around me. A lot of things still bother me but Steemit gave me hope that I can do things to improve my life. It's more rewarding than a job and more enjoyable than a hobby. Steemit encourages me to be a better me, despite the limitations of my conditions. I never looked at art and everything else, this way. Putting value to talent and attention is a genius idea. If ones effort is rewarded directly in the real world like in Steemit, what a good world it would be.
You see,all that u ve said is a million dolar true statement!!! Being part of the steemit community is the surest way to financial freedom!!!
)
Its a community of mutual support(this is so magnanimously palatable)this distinguish steemit from any other communities!!!!
Personally,i will say that since i found steemit,i ve found a community of love selflessness and cooperation!!!!!
Anybody part of steemit and not happy cannot be happy anywhere!!!!
Actually,if i am to use a whole day to write about the benefits of steemits,i bet you it won't be enough!!!!!
It has been fun actually being part of the steemit community....kudos to you guys!!

Gosh damarth, i wonder how i saw this late but i did see all your are doing as i do a ton of curation too. And my voice and entire definition is for this. I wonder if you will have time to go through a few posts to see exactly this. I will just keep them at a few. My last #untalented-adjustments contest had more than 1000 entries and 6k plus comments and you will see the entire ton of the people resounding exactly what you are doing here. It is awesome what the route you are taking. Really awesome. Currently working on the 3 steem interfaces to make the voice amplified and one token on smt. For now though, i do a lot of curation with most of the essence of a vote being more of inspiration than content and with this and groups and chats with hardly 5 minutes of rest time, i am managing to reach some 5000 steemians. The interfaces will lighten the tasks a bit by making everything fully community driven.
Let me leave you will two or three summary posts.

You are a blessing! 👏🏼
A blessing indeed because he has done much just to see some us smile again. Thank you for all you have done.
Thank your for your links, i like what you do, need more time to read your posts, i follow you now to learn more about your projects.
Thank you very much
@surpassinggoogle is one of the effective leaders and model that I met here on steemit thank you for the nonstop support to minnow like me and to my team #steemitachievers
You have really done a good thing by raising this @damarth.
The truth is, giving arms to the poor is short term if we really want change their lives! The fact that they won't be able afford comfort with it is really not feasible! They need something to rely on!
Having cryptocurrency is a way to go! As its value is alot better especially when converted to currencies of these poor countries. For instance, 1steem is about $6 in the US now but equivalent to about #2000 market price in Nigeria. So, having 1steem here in Nigeria can buy you and your friend a really good meal. Really good one.
So you see that a platform as this that can help these poor countries work for these currencies is really what is needed to secure long term finance as they may not be able to get capital to start up something that will fetch more money.
The major thing now is.... how do we know these people when they finally join the community?.. or don't you think frustration will set in when they draft really good articles and get cents? And then see little writeups getting nice payouts? It could leave them seeing the short term income as the 'life'.
It may sound funny, but i will say this! If you are a whale here and you really want to help people out of poverty... let me not mention names! You know the country tags to visit and reward those giving a good shot at creativity.
Crypto is the 'long term', steemit offers crypto for creativity! Help creativity and provide the 'long term'
hi @damarth,sorry to correct you but the title should be "Global Inquality" not "Global inegality",I really apologize if I am wrong.But I am totally agree with you "Richer are becoming more richer and poorer are becoming more poorer.I also wonder who is responsible for the bad situation of poor,Is it our government or politics or our society or we are responsible?yes we don't want nuclear war or not a single war because no one will get profit from that,never.There are many places in the world where there is no home to live,no food to eat and no clothes to wear.People are dying due to starvation.I really feel upset when I read some bad things,but How could I correct the situation,If I am not able to help them with money,Because I am poor too but I am educated and I can find ways to earn money and I find steemit a better place.Yes in my opinion everyone should be "educated" so that they can find a platform like steemit to earn and can make a good earning. I am here for collecting money so that I can continue my further studies and I believe that I can make money.But I also want to help other people too.Thank you @damarth for such a nice post.You are very kind person.upvoted and resteemed.
Thank you! i've fixed the mistake.
Anybody please don't hesitate to point out mistakes to improve the content.
thank you @damarth that you have replied to my comment,I am very happy.you are the best.
Glad to read this. Its soothing to know there are more and more people out there who feels this way!
The resource disparity is a problem indeed, and I'm terribly glad myself for steemit, without steemit I know where I was, and it was not a good place.
Of course not! I hope our so called leaders finally see reason!
I guess if nobody is willing to follow their crazyness then war will no longer exist.
Well like you said distributing wealth to the hands of the poor will not solve the problem. This will only make them "rich" and not wealthy. Wealthiness is a state of mind. I suggest financial education just as R. Kiyosaki has always emphasized that this should be introduced into our curriculum.
The concept of crypto tokens is an amazing one. But like we see on steemit it can to an extent be monopolized where whales do not distribute the rewards fairly enough but to only crypto related posts from other whales. Steemit was meant to me a social media and a crypto-media but right now minnows and dolphins are not sure anymore. It is a giant stride to remove power from the government through the blockchain technology but we also need to remove power from the wealthy as well, as with every new blockchain on the block they encroach first.
I recommend a blockchain ecosystem that will reward equity and fairness and support for the poor and under privileged.
Nice thinking here @damarth
thats good and you right
aslo i think the give money to poor is not a better method to finish poverty from world and is not a better help for them the money which you give them i think it create more poverty not finish it
because first thing you canot give them with a routen as per month to many famlies
second thing which money you give some of those families they spend it and wait for next month and some dont work or not want to change thier life and not struggle for earen.......i dont say that every one doing this i say many of them doing this
there for the properwork is that you should create the oppurtunities for them to provide them work or job or give them some skills to divide them in some catagories as they choose their likeable skill,, then they will work and earen money and will not get from you it will be a regular chain that should be finish poverty
you can use your funding on right way to some do good for them to finish poverty not give them money to increase this ill more
and you should make some schools in which you provide the free education thire childrens till they stand and have a good job
maybe many of here not agree with me but i only share my thought
I agree. Something has to change. Rich getting richer & the poor getting poorer. Until people realize that having a healthy, educated population is the way to be number one, we're going to continue to go down in the world standing
No matter how big the problem or challenge, it's a blessing in disguise. Even failures reaps benefits that will serve you in the future. And this is not just another 'motivational talk', this is reality, this is life, this is one of those laws of nature.
Change has come slowly. Driving future improvements will be extremely difficult. Nonetheless, try we must. The benefits are worth it.
So keep on fighting and working to live to the fullest. 😍
