I just find this one better than the original :P


Most of you must be aware that Edvard Munch’s masterpiece The Scream sold for $119.9m. 

Anyhow this particular picture was shared on FB & I really liked it. Whenever I see a cat or dog somewhere, it just melts my heart. And the shocking expression on the kitty’s face is totally fabulous. 

But what I find a bit irritating is how people keep on whining & complaining. They talk about poverty whenever they read such stuff. Disparity is nothing new. I remember when I tweeted about Lindsay Lohan earning loads of money for shedding her clothes, some people were worried about poor people who don’t even have clothes to wear. 

The question is: what are you doing about it other than complaining quite religiously whenever you can? 

Complaining is alright, if you do something about it. We are here for a reason. We can’t solve every problem. We can help somehow in some little way & that could help in the long run. My observation is that all those who complain, they never do anything else besides complaining. 

What would you do if you get $120m? Are you going to distribute that money to help out the needy out there? 

All we need is an honest answer & then many people might just shut up.

If poverty does not matter


“If poverty does not matter as long as it is contented, then crime does not matter as long as it is unscrupulous. The truth is that it is only then that it does matter most desperately. Many persons are more comfortable when they are dirty than when they are clean; but that does not recommend dirt as a national policy.”

Temptations


“But there are temptations which it is not in the power of human to resist, & few knew what would be their case if driven to the same exigencies. As covetousness is the root of all evil, so poverty is, I believe, the worst of all snares.”

Daniel Defoe
