Who has to pay for...?

We’ve been witnessing the global problems faced by humanity. We’ve also been witnessing the symptoms of such problems and quite often we fail to get to the root of the matter or don’t want to discuss it at all.

Let me list the problems we are facing: climate change, global warming, pollution, food crisis, oil crisis, financial crisis, wars, poverty, ignorance, HIV, malaria and TB. Who is causing these problems and who will pay for them?

Recently, I’ve been listening to speeches full of promises by politicians from all over the world. In their alluring speeches, they were trying to cover the fact they intend to axe different social benefits (health, education, financial support to elderly). It seems to me that the needy will be the ones to pay for all the problems.

My message is: let us be honest in finding a solution, admit when we’re wrong, win over the hearts of the needy and join the humanitarian cause.
