ABSTRACT

If it is right that some people die of hunger, so why do I have things so good? What privilege do I have with respect to it? I’ve often thought that I ought to suffer, too, but when I thought about this matter I thought that I can’t really do anything about the poverty in the developing countries. Now I’m just thankful for what I’ve received and I pray that the poverty-stricken will get rich at some time. I don’t know if that was thought out correctly.
