Why do we tend to be complicated? In Starbucks, coffee could be only coffee. We don’t have to add milk, sugar, chocolate, and in some cases salt. In love, passion could be only a high level of affection. We don’t have to justify love to have sex. In atom level, it is only the basic unit of things. Is it really important to divide it into smaller particles and particules (this is just a word from my mind). In the end, Life is complicated, thus we are.
Why life is too complicated? I wanted to discus time travel to clarify that point. However, a recent event changed my mind dramatically. The answer lies in front of our eyes: consequences. A misplaced stone would eventually cause a whole building to collapse. Therefore, masons paid (and still paying) a lot of attention to cornerstones. The idea of a cornerstone is a bit amusing; and we may claim poverty is the cornerstone for all evil. I don’t mean that poor people are devilish. In contrary, most of times poor people are good believers.
The percentage of house owners in Saudi Arabia is somewhere around 40%. Though, I think this is inaccurate, since I know people who build apartments more than those who rent the apartments. This could be a misleading sentence, and I have to make it more correct: 20% own houses, 60% rent houses, and other 20% are homeless. Still, the idea is: those who are capable to lease are decreasing on the favor of homeless. I’m very comfortable to say that magnitudes of this are very uncomfortable. Yet, what is so significant to own a house?
Poverty is a multifactorial problem. Nevertheless, the result is very uniformly: corruption. An old says that absolute power is absolute corruption, so how come powerless people to become as such as scam? In an early blog, I discussed that human beings are worse creatures as they have the capability to justify and fulfill their needs regardless the consequences. Back to the foundation, the consequence for a hungry man in his pursuit for food is very sore. The impact is very massive.
I invite you to take a look for the big picture: a father, a mother, and nine children are composing a poor family. This unlucky family main theme is neglecting. The father is either/ both spends all of his time seeking for money or/and cursing the unfortunate life. He may, often, express his anger toward the community in his children. I would like to call those poor lads: a pressure cuff. The mother is the safety valve, which at one point may explode, leading to many results. The most probably outcome; she would kill her husband, herself, and/or her children. This happens only in classic movies, as in reality she would simply transfer into a negative and passive observer. She is the witness of a harsh process of demolishing her sons and daughters selves-esteem. No need to mention that the parents may alternate in rules.
Poor self-esteem in poor people is really devastating. The 9 children outcome may vary shockingly; I would take each one of them individually, but I know my beloved readers don’t have enough time. Therefore, the main flow is characterized by uncontrollable compensating methods to fulfill inferiority thoughts such as religious attitude. That approach may be explained as turning to absolute power, because they’re completely helpless. Anyway, back to the means the children may use: violence, crimes, community hatred, and easy money like drugs and weapons.
I passed closely to that family by one of the daughters. One of them is 22 years old, she just started her college life a year ago. She is a bit late to be college girl, but after many years of failing in school she reached this point, and that’s good by itself. Significantly, she expresses her destruction desires in boys. Lust and horny boys just fly like butterflies around this beautiful flower. Literally she utilities them as condoms; she uses them once and then discard them. I know this may go either ways, for the girl or the community. Nevertheless, I don’t feel sorry for the boys, they’re jerk, whom I am in pain for is the girl. Since, none of us could tell the consequences.
