World Hunger

Richest 1% -- According to a recent Credit Suisse report the richest 1% now owns 50.1% of the world’s wealth. Given this absurd concentration of wealth, we need this 1% to be self-convinced (like Mr. Warren Buffett) that they are just temporary custodians of the wealth. When a big chunk of their billions remains wastefully invested in unproductive and ostentatious wealth like $50M yacht and $300M in multiple mansions, it hardly benefits the human race. They must therefore come to terms with the generational reset meaning, at the end of their lives, they must return a sizable portion, if not all, of their wealth back to the society, pulling tens of millions out of abject poverty each year.

In other words, the success or failure of the human race is largely dependent on them. If they are honest and honorable enough to accept this harsh reality, the advancement of the human race will gleefully continue; absent which, millions more will continue to drift away in utter poverty. Hopefully, this voluntary return of wealth – and not forced redistribution of wealth – will become a self-fulfilling prophecy in arresting the ever-widening income disparity and mitigating world hunger and starvation. We just want them to be more humane in feeling the pain and anguish of millions of mothers watching their children go to sleep hungry.

Remaining 99% -- We must learn to put the interest of the human race ahead of our own. So, the rich and poor alike must also come to terms with the generational reset, voluntarily returning a big part, if not all, of our wealth back to the society. Perhaps, we need a universal ring-tone ‘Mom, I am hungry, I can’t sleep.’ - which will constantly remind us that millions of children are hungry and that their mothers are starving. That nightly cry is the Via Dolorosa for those mothers -- that just never ends. We must never forget that these are our children and their mothers are our daughters and sisters. They are inseparably part of us!
