can be the weighing scale ever set to zero

It was as early as I was seven years of age when I began to think about what’s the real score of this so-called “life”, the reality of living life itself. When I was still at seven, I can’t help myself but to think why there is really the ‘rich’ and the ‘poor’, like me, who is just unfortunately behind the bars of poverty. Since then I can’t almost sleep, I keep on asking, inquiring and go on thinking how did it all began, how did they come up with such situation, and what’s the roots of all of these? Why is there such a big gap between the two?
The rich and the poor – two words that are both made up of four letters, two interesting standings in the community we must explore and ask ourselves about. I think everybody wants to be rich (let’s just set aside the word friends and family from this topic)? Everybody wishes to rise up from poverty. Do you know why are the two present? Why is it that not everybody’s equal?
Rich – does it sounds like the diamonds, the bling-blings, the 3G’s – the guns, the girls and the goons - and the cars? But that’s not what I’m trying to say. We wonder how the rich ones came up with what they are right now. Were they able to get all just in a sudden, like a blink, like an instant millionaire in a TV game show like Game K N B? or Who Wants to be a Millionaire; were they born with a silver spoon on their nose; do they have a clan of corrupt politicians; or just mainly because of their own struggles?
Among the choices above, let’s stick into those self-motivated ones and has progressed because of their struggles and own efforts. There are a lot of them presently especially our proudly-Pinoy businessmen. Some of them are Lloyd Luna, who is a very successful businessman and is a fulltime millionaire at the same time at an age as early as twenty-five years old, and Kenneth Cobunpue, the great manufacturer of rattan furniture who is known in the whole wide world for his creations, even in Hollywood. Shall we blame them if they are standing at a grand majestic carpet? We should make them our inspirations instead, so that someday we, too, can be like who they are right now or could even be greater than them someday.
Let’s turn to the world behind the mirror – where poverty is widespread. Many tried to leave this world. But some just lazily stayed and waited for the good news (?) from the mouths of the politicians. Others do strive hard to have some, or even just a little bit, of progress in their lives. But although they have done their best, their best was just sadly not good enough.
Because of this, you just can sometimes say that life’s too unfair. You can see that the poor is striving too hard just for their dreams – waking up very early, saving money and their sacrifices - but still nothing has changed especially the older ones. While those who were born rich, doing all those absurd deeds – wasting money for silly internet games plus the laziness – can never be equal with those struggling poor ones.
Haven’t those bothered your mind?
