Beggars, Poor, and Prostitutes: The reason for their existence
Why beggars are roaming the streets even in rich countries?
Why there are prostitutes even when they could live decent life?
Why only a few are rich when there is a vast of wealth in this earth?
These three levels of man have been here since the old days as proven by old literature.
When I went abroad to look for a living, I was amazed to see beggars, prostitutes, and like in my country, there are only a few wealthy people there; the majority is poor and middle class of people.
Maybe because of physical idleness, my mind had the chance to think and think and keep talking to myself. It kept asking those questions, until I came up with the following explanations I briefly describe bellow (Let us start with the shortest and easy to explain):
1. Why there are prostitutes even when they could have lived a more decent life?
If we accept the explanations of the xxx moviemakers then maybe we could say that the case is closed. According to their research, most of those women working in the xxx movies are not only there for the sake of money but, also, they really want to show their body and, like men, want to satisfy their desire and craving for sex. So, does it mean the prostitutes are the same with those actors and actresses doing triple X movies? According to the sex workers I chanced to interview about their reasons being in their work, they said, they need money, and – this one is close to the other reason I gave – they make lonely husbands happy, and help them overcome their relationship problems, not only about sex but also about emotional matters. In a material world, that explanation seems to be, hmmm – logical.
However, here is another practical explanation. Prostitutes are here to satisfy men’s desire and needs during the times when their wives cannot do their responsibility to their husbands. They are here, also, to minimize the sin of a man coveting another’s wife for the sake of satisfying his sexual needs.
2. Why only a few are rich when there is a vast of wealth in this earth?
The common reason given to us as explanation for this phenomenon is because poor or less fortunate people are simply lazy or they do not have the good luck to amass wealth for themselves.
Thinking it over, and over again, the reason is simply because when there are less poor people, “Who will work the fields? Who will work in the buildings, clean the streets, cook and serve us in the restaurants? And many more things only the poor and average people are willing to do. In short, there is imbalance when there are more rich than poor. Another thing, becoming rich is a very strong motivation people to work harder, and think harder to discover the vast secrets of this earth. Imagine when the motivation is to become poor, do you think human still exist today?
3. Why beggars are roaming the streets, even on rich countries where we say at least have enough food to feed everyone.
This is something hard to believe, but we need people to pray for this world to be blessed, and also to pray for us.
When people are in bad shape, almost all the words that come out from their mouth are sincerely coming from the bottom of their heart. They do not have any reason to become a liar. Thus, when they get alms, the giver is lucky when the beggar will pray for him to be blessed by the LORD ALMIGHTY. However, it seems only a few beggars know to pray and say thanks for the little thing they received.
If we observe the beggars we have on the streets asking for alms, one could see there are beggars who are capable to work but lazy. There are beggars who see business in doing it, and there are beggars who are real beggars who have no other capabilities but to beg.
Thus, it is very important to look for this third kind of beggar. They are here as bridge to the Lord, to tell HIM there are still few good people in this world, thus it is worthy of not destroying it. When this people stopped praying, or are already crying to the Lord this earth is too bad, then the Lord knows the earth has no more righteous people; therefore, there is a reason to destroy it like Sodom and Gomorrah.
The beggars pray for luck and good blessings for the people who gives to them.
But, be careful when giving to people we considered beggars. Do not say you give abundantly so that when they pray, you will get a bigger reward. Don’t give too much, because of the abundance of their alms, they might forget to pray!
In real life that is what’s happening. Abundance corrupts the mind of the people, and they forget to show gratitude to the One who made those blessings possible.
People always forget to pray when they have too much blessings. Also, when they pray, it lacks passion; unlike when they are in real need. When people want something badly, they tend to do the extreme. They pray, even walking with their knees, just to gain the pity of the LORD to grant what they want.
