International Day for the Eradication of Poverty • October 17
Sometimes, help doesn’t feel like help. A poor tired mother waits in line all morning, only to hear, “Come back tomorrow.” A shy barefoot child is told he can’t enter class without shoes. A weary hungry father works hard but still gets blamed for not earning enough.
That’s what happens when kindness is buried under rules. Poverty isn’t just about money—it’s about how the world treats people who have less. Every harsh word, every cold stare, every closed door makes them feel smaller than they are.
If we bring back gentleness—the kind that ends social and institutional maltreatment and reminds every system it exists for people, not power—maybe help wouldn’t feel so heavy. Maybe no one would be punished for simply trying to live. It’s time to eradicate poverty and change how we look at and treat those who struggle to survive.
