What is more dangerous than COVID - 19 ?

For the past few months we all are facing such a dreadful virus about which no one has ever dreamt of and yes, of course, we all are tired of this, and the worst part is that this viral disease has no curable vaccine properly available till now. But from years a more terrible problem is all around us. And that is HUNGER.

Yes you read it right, standing in the 21st century it is shameful for us to acknowledge that hunger even exists, however, the fact cannot be changed. Are you still casual about it??? If yes then let’s have a look at the statistics.

We can easily get maybe two kilos of apple from the market every week, but cannot give one to an old homeless even e we understand that he is starving for days, and still, we call ourselves HUMAN. Today we live in a world where people share solutions but they themselves never act towards it.

And the best part is that the cure to this [hunger] problem is in our hands, but still might not be the best part rather probably be the worst part, because if this problem needed a vaccine then I am sure that there would have started a race among nations to come first in vaccine making, but on the other hand, it would also save lives.

Imagine a mother who is watching her son dying in front of her just because she failed to give enough food to him for surviving. I earnestly request you for the next time before throwing away a bread just because it is over toasted please think twice, because you are extremely lucky to have that, or else you might have been in those 7 million people who died due to starvation just this very year.

No one alone can feed all hungry people but if you can feed even one, what are you waiting for??? We all know that huge monuments are not built overnight; they all get started with just a single brick. Let us all be unified because it is not a matter of country, race, caste, or religion, it is a matter of life for a small reason i.e. food which just for our casual rather inhuman nature has turned into a big issue. You will be shocked to know that a rich man’s shampoo sometimes has more fruits than on a poor man’s plate. Hungry people are often noticed to eat some leftovers on a plate that too from a dustbin. If you feed a hungry today, no matter which religion you follow but your lord will have something special for waiting for you.

HUNGER IS LIKE A PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME THAT YOU DID NOT COMMIT. And yes, neither mainstream media nor social media give this news rather fact a much coverage. And why should they do so because HUNGER does not affect the rich?
