The bad treatment of the poor people is there worse amongst all injustices that existed in the world. Their condition has labeled them as the “deaf creature” to be satisfied with whatever comes to them. The unaltered gesture for them has been the “asking”; they cannot escape from this asking. This has become a symbol and they have to it put on them. When they need, they ask; if not asking, then, forget that some angel will come to help! Such magic only happens in literary novels or films.
On the other hand, there are people – the so-called lucky and number one people – the wealthy people on the earth. They have an abundance of materials to eat, to drink, to wear, to travel, to fashion, to entertain, and so on. They happen to be on the same earth bon the exact opposite side to that of the poor and the poorest. It makes a huge difference if even a simple sweat comes out on their body. They enjoy everything, and even then, they are working the least. They hardly find themselves to be engaged in any rigorous task; ironically, they have to indulge themselves in rigorous exercises to maintain their health. There could be otherworldly woes worries in the lives of the rich, but none of the hunger, thirst, costume, etc. They never have to be concerned about what to eat the next lunch or dinner.
The children have also been thrown into this world with the echoing destiny of “no escape.” Conditions amongst the children with poor backgrounds and the children with wealthy backgrounds are as much the same as their parents. The child of a rich parent enjoys every facility from toys to the schools. Whereas, the child of poor parents hardly gets enough protection and good schools; forget about the toys. The poor children have to feel the same narrow and negative attitude as the other classes of society while studying in school. Childhood is the time that reminds everyone of a “past” for the whole life after growing up till old age. For the poor people, the childhood memories prove to be the burning fires that no one can extinguish. Contradictorily, for the rich people, the childhood memories are the “cake” of their lives. Thus, the correlated “anger”, differently manufactured and designed, surfaces all through the lives of poor people with a complaining question – “Why?”
