write by Pradeep Sharma
Many successful people in easy circumstances refuse to admit that they have any duties to the poor. They agree with Tennyson’s “Northern Farmer” when he said, “The poor in a lump is bad.” They comfort themselves with the belief that all poverty is due to laziness, drink, or stupidity, and is, therefore, the fault of the poor themselves.
Even if this were true, we should still have a duty to the poor; for it is the duty of the wise, the strong, the industrious and the virtuous, to help the weak, the idle, the foolish and the vicious, to change their mode of life.
But it is not true; at any rate it is only a part of the truth. For in modern civilization, a great deal of the terrible poverty that exists is not due to any fault of the poor themselves, but to the organization of society, for which the individual poor are not responsible.
