Passion and Material Poverty

Passion sometimes goes together with ambition. Because of this ambition, many people willing to take advantage of other. In the past, we passionate to improve the world, so we use Earth resources. As a consequence, our Earth gets in to poverty. Climate changes, the extinction of animals, and the loss of resources are important issues in today world.

Passion can lead you to poverty. Our current society is a society of money. Unfortunately, not all passions produce money. Most of people, whose passions are in art and work as painters or singers, usually do not earn enough money for their family to live. I remember in my childhood days there were a family whose father is a painter lived near my house. All the members in that house have to work to earn money, even their child an elementary kid had to work in the market. Because in Vietnam most of low income families do not receive material supports from the government. The child and his mother had to earn money for his father continued to paint. They moved from a house to a rented room, then; they moved out to another town. This story prove that not lots of people who follow their passion can have a succeed life. If you cannot gain money from that passion, you can fall to poverty.


If you do not have passion, you do not have a goal to achieve. If there is no achievement, there will not be improvement. Follow this logic; poor people who do not have passion cannot escape from their poverty. Passion is a tool for us to fight our material poverty.
