IS POVERTY REALLY A STATE OF MIND......

Countries are classified as rich or poor depending upon the policy stated by UNO. These policies take whole country as an entity ad then put the tag of poverty or richness.Walking down to the individual level, every person categorises himself as rich or poor.Even in a country like America, its not so that every citizen of that sate believes that he is rich and on the other part, every person of Afghanistan doesn't consider himself to be poor.So, what's the scale of judgement being used by individuals to put themselves in a particular category? ? Talking in a broader sense, poverty is a relative parameter and not an absolute one.It totally depends upon the level of satisfaction you wish to attain in your life.In today's materialistic world, its very difficult to keep yourself away from the zeal of having more and more luxuries or accessories. And on the top of it, the thought of having a high profile reputation and image in the society adds five star to this process of acquiring more and more. An employee owning a scooter and 2 BHK flat could be much more satisfied as compared to the CEO of the same company possessing a series of cars and bungalows.A child may be satisfied with a single piece of toy or may not be satisfied even with a full room packed with the same. This  is a fact of life that everyone is not born to be a Birla or Ambani.But each and every person is born to lead a lifr of happiness and peace.If a person learns to be happy and contented with little then there is no factor or parameter in the world which can categorise him as poor.Self contention doesn't meannot trying to have more. It simply means being thankfulfor having what he has and making an effort or wish to achieve more or gain more . But in this process,  one must not leave the spirit and happiness to enjoy the Life . A child though not having much toys to play or a car to drop him to school,  which his friends might be having , should aspire to get that car in future by his hardwork .But at no cost he must bring a thought in his mind that he is poor or lags behind others."Sky is the limit for everyone" and the starting point of this journey varies from person to person. Some have to run longer but  some have to run short but everyone is equal in the eyes of lord. You are poor only if you consider yourself to be poor. Be you the only competitor of yours and always try to be one step ahead  from where you were and believe me you will never be dissatisfied or unhappy with your life.
