Rich "get" Poor "beg"

My friend told me,"I don't ride bike".
"Are you scared of falling down", I asked naturally because most people are.
"No", he said.
"Then why?" I questioned surprisingly.
"More on health concern, I don't want to suck in all the pollution", he answered.

That triggers me thinking. I was slightly disturbed and offended, not because of what he said but more on what the world has become.

The rich will become richer, the poor will become poorer. This is utterly annoying but i can't deny that it is the trend now and it is going to be.

We are uniquely made by our creator. Yet the world has made the poor people lives "cost" less than a penny.

Yes, the environment is polluted, so the poor has to breathe with polluted air because they are poor while the rich comfortably driving bigger and bigger CC cars to emit more and more CO2?

Yes, the traffic is busy and dangerous, so the poor has to risk their children life with whole family riding on a bike while the rich drives recklessly on the road?

Why are we being so selfish? The poor are human being too, why are they given less privilege? Rich men life are precious, what about poor men life?

The world has become so blinded, chasing more and more earthly treasures. Remember we came into this world naked, we will leave this world naked as well.

Is there anything more meaningful you can do in this life?
