The 'experts' of hunger??

The outrage of hunger in a world of plenty will never be solved by 'experts' somewhere. It will only be solved when people like you or me decide to act.

Frances Moore Lappé, contemporary US writer, nutritionist, and co-founder of Food First

Wow!!! That statement is absolutely correct!! Today, the world is suffering from a life-threatening and also life-ending hunger that will actually be lethal to a country's population. Take African countries for example. Hunger has been a major issue there for years and it has shown its effects on them. Hunger has killed million of people in every year and this could prove to be harmful to a country's development process. 

Well, if you look to that statement actually there's a very interesting part. This part is actually in the first sentence. It said that the outrage of hunger will never be solved by experts somewhere. It then lit up something in my mind. By whom will it be solved? If it can't be solved by experts, who can? Then the second question is, why can't they solve it? Why can't experts do something? Are they hopeless? Are they afraid? Are they stupid? NO, it's much simpler than that.

Maybe the simplest reason why the outrage of hunger can't be solved by experts is because most experts never experience hunger. Most experts are people who are "blessed"!! They never know hunger. They never experience hunger. They never actually recognize the problem they're facing.  So, because they don't know what they're facing and how to face it, they can't solve it. It's just like a man who's trying to perform a heart surgery but instead he is actually a dentist. Both of them are doctors but dentist is not specialized to perform a heart surgery. That man would be stupid if he actually like performed that surgery. This kind of condition is actually the same with the condition of 'experts'. They maybe are called 'experts' but they are not like that. They are good in theory but they are worthless when they have to solve everyday problems.  So, to conclude what I've just said, I would like to say that 'experts' are kind of helpless when they have to solve  serious problems. So, once we've got our conclusion, then we have to think once again. Who can solve it??

This statement never actually mentioned the 'solvers'. It only mentioned about a solution. This statement actually said that we are the ones who have to act first. What?? Why should be us? Well, it's because problems are solved from their roots and we're actually the roots of our country. A country is like a tree. It has to have roots so that it can stand and grow. We are the roots and we are the ones who determine the fate of our nation. Okay, then.. What can we do? There are a pile of things that we can do, for example : 

- we can be a member of organizations specialized in solving hunger

- we can donate money so that the level of poverty can be decreased

- we can also be less wasteful and be more economical so that the needs of other people can also be fulfilled

Well, that's all I can say now. Like Mahatma Gandhi said, "We must be the change we wish to see", we also have to be the ones who react and act first wherever and whenever. God bless you folks.  Have a nice weekend.
