This world is always full of challenges, problems, conflicts, crimes, and anything you can imagine of. Problems keep piling up day by day. There's no human that goes to bed without a problem in his or her mind. But if I'm given the opportunity to eradicate one problem completely, that would be hunger.
Hunger is a very bad thing that has been eating up the lives of so many commoners all over the world. Sometimes hunger is not just about food. It's about those without opportunity, those without privilege, those still living on a survival mode. There are millions of people, both adults and children, that are in this kind of situation.
Sometimes we go on the street to see children being homeless, children not going to school, walking around on the streets of Africa. Or parents still struggling to do ministry, or parents still struggling to do a millennial job so that their kids can have a family.
Hunger is what usually traps people in that cage of poverty. Hunger can deteriorate your health. And if we can eliminate hunger completely, it might beat some people up. Imagine a kid growing up without worrying about what to eat and they have the full strength and focus to chase their dreams and to build a better life. Would it be great? So imagine communities that are doing well because they have the energy to work day and night.
The reason I want to eradicate hunger is because this is the foundation of every human in the society. When people are hungry, people are always angry and this contributes to a bad society which can result to stealing and other illegal activities going on. So food is like a threat to our body. So with that we are weak and we always engage in other problems. So when the world is well fed, then there is hope to everybody. And there is more innovation, more energy to work, more energy to develop the society.
One of the issues of hunger is not scarcity. It is about how the distribution of resources is in a particular country. So let us picture a world where everyone has the opportunity to have equal food. Where no one child is crying and the other one is eating and throwing away food. Where communities are sharing resources so that everyone can feel happy and have the strength to chase their dreams. Then we will see a happy society. This economy will be stronger, people will be happier and crime will be reduced.
So when we eliminate hunger, we are not just trying to fill our stomach. We are trying to bring a world of possibilities. It is just like a reminder that even the acts that we are indulging like just supporting ourselves or offering free meals to those around us can create a fairer system and can move us closer to that vision that we will be looking for. Let us do our best to be kind to those around us so that we can make the world a better place to be.
