Hey Damarth,

Although I respect your attempt at addressing the inequality that is present in the world, I don’t think that the statistics that you are providing as a means of solving this issue fully takes into account the social-economic situation we find ourselves in. I mean at the end of the day, there have always been poor people and there will continue to be, this is not to say that I am against this changing. I believe that a framework through which, for example, education can be provided is the best thing that we can hope for, however, we must acknowledge the fact that the world requires this delicate balance of those few with wealth and the many who don’t, this is the unfortunate truth we live by. Also, this misconception that wealth equates to happiness is dumbfounded, I mean having lived in Vancouver for the past 6 months, I have seen that the poor people I see in India are often happier and more satisfied with life.

I would love to further discuss this topic with you if you’d like. It is something I have great interest in.
