Have u ever seen the eyes of poor people?

Answer 1

As a child - every time I looked in the mirror.

Answer 2

YES!
Thank you for the inspired and holy question...best I've seen in a long time. Some of the other answers worry me a little. There was another documentary on the History Channel last night about Hitler's era and there was footage of people just about to die and they ALL looked into the camera with no emotion except that desperate pleading look in their eyes for YOU AND ME LIVING NOW TO DO SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE "THIS" NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!!!
It's the same look everywhere there is suffering as a result of injustice.

Answer 4

If anybody ever really sees the eyes of poor people, s/he would not say s/he had seen them. S/he would be doing certain things that would show that s/he has really seen them.

Answer 5

Yes. It is one of the heart-wrenching sights. Hence, i often avoid looking at them in their eyes. It makes you guilty, for the advantages you enjoy and denied to them. The longing, asking, and forlorn eyes of the destitute children in the street makes you wonder what is the meaning of life and what the big deal is there in life, where we cannot ensure two square meal a day for every member of the society. Haven't you seen the pathetic sight of the young and the newly born reduced to mere shadows in places like Somalia, Uganda etc. You become miserable, pessimistic and helpless at the sight of these pictures.
There is a reason why we often tend to ignore these sights, although we come across them quite frequently. You consider it your luck and fortune that God has not put you in their shoes. There is an underlying feeling of a smug satisfaction that you are better off than these people, wallowing in poverty. It fires in you a vigour to maintain your economic status beyond a point, so that you never slide to their level . That explains why man's vigour in amassing more and more wealth never meets its saturation. His fear of the possible poverty that he and his dear ones, might suffer in the family haunts him for and he wants to creates an unassailable guarantee against poverty.

Answer 6

Poor by what standards? I can only assume the writer as well as most of the respondents mean "poor" in terms of ones assets or possessions. By these standards each of you would see me as one of those among the poor in our society. However, I have a different definition or measure of the word "poor" and by that definition find myself to be one of the richest people you could ever meet.

In response to the question at hand, I have seen the eyes of poor people.

A lot have any and everything that money can buy; nice homes, fancy cars, and all material things that they want. They have great jobs with big bank accounts and are envied by many. Yet still with everything that their money can buy, often many of these people (and it's not limited to those who have material wealth) find that their money can't buy them true happiness.

"At the end of the day", they find that their friends were only there to benefit themselves, they find that they're taught their children by example to be materialistic thus not wanting to spend quality time with a parent, they find that achieving their wealth in life came before that of nurturing what money can't buy and and bankruptcy can't take away.

At the end of the day, someone is poor in my mind when he/she is without true love of family and friends in which to share the simplest joys of life with.

Answer 10

I only remember the children, their eye's haunt me.
I know there is nothing I can do to help them.
Giving them clothes, school supplies & food, only puts a bandaid on their little lives... the lives their parents have chosen for them.

Answer 11

yes,especially when they are looking to rich people with their SUV,armani coat,a six number wage,a ***** as a wife and they are still worried about their future.
In my life I've seen more dignity in poor eyes than in rich people
