Money

Did you know that there's enough money in the global village for everyone to have enough to live in the global village. If everyone got their money divided equally, everyone would get roughly $4500; which is roughly the amount that's needed to live in the global village. But instead, the 20 richest people are paid $9000 a year. Whereas the 20 poorest people get less than a dollar a day. Then 60 people are somewhere in between. It astounds the mind to think that if we shared a bit more, there would be way less poverty.

There's no knowing what exactly poverty is, I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
