Poverty is one of the most serious problems of our time. Enduring poverty does not mean the end of hope or life. Despite disappointing news reports from throughout the world about poverty, some people remain optimistic that something concrete can be done. We also need to have a proper understanding of money. True, it provides some security. However, there are things of more value than money. Recognizing this fact can help us maintain material things in appropriate perspective, avoiding the frustrations of individuals whose life revolve around the accumulation of money.
