Rich and poor people gap

Ever since, there’s a gap between the status of both– poor and rich people. Many of the country’s around the world experienced this wide barrier that almost affects the relation of both parties. It is also one of the reasons why any country, cities or one community haven’t be able to gain progress because of some issues that lies ahead and still gives boundaries from the development of the place, or to the country and the people itself.
I’ve been following the issues regarding the condition of the country on what’s the latest issues facing it . About Government issues, politics, economy, health, education, living, etcetera, name it! all issues and news under the sun, its publicize. Every time I read news and some articles, still there is a topic between the rich and the poor boundaries. According to the survey that was conducted from the Government was, the “relationship-gap” of the poor and the rich was soaring up. Are you convince?
How will we going to make some difference out of it? The gap of rich and poor people is getting widen. Read some funny but true facts about the differences of both.
Kung mayaman ka, meron kang “allergy”, kung sa mahirap ka, ang tawag dyan ay “galis” o “bakokang”, sa bisaya pa “kagid”
sa mahirap, “sira ulo” sa mayaman, “nervous breakdown” dahil sa “tension and stress”.
sa mayaman ang “malikot ang kamay” ang tawag ay “kleptomaniac”, sa mahirap, ang tawag dito ay “magnanakaw”.
pag mayaman ka, you’re “eccentric”, kung mahirap ka, “may toyo ka sa ulo”.
kung mahirap ka at sumakit ang ulo mo, ikaw ay “nalipasan ng gutom”, kung mayaman ka naman at sumakit ang ulo mo, ikaw ay may “migraine”.
kung mahirap ka, ikaw ay “kuba”, pero kung mayaman ka, you are referred to as someone who is “scoliotic”.
kung isa kang domestic na maitim, ikaw ay “ita” o “negrita” o “baluga”, pero ang seƱorita mo kahit kasingkulay mo, ang tawag ay “morena” o “kayumanggi”.
kung nasa high society ka, you are approvingly called “slender” or “balingkinitan”, kung mahirap ka lang, you are plainly called “payatot” o “patpatin” o “ting-ting”.
kung nasa high society ka pa rin at ikaw ay maliit, ang tawag sa iyo ay “petite”, kung mahirap ka lang, ikaw ay “pandak” o “bansot” o “unano”.
“malandi” ka kung isa kang dukhang alembong, pero kung mayaman ka ang tawag sa iyo ay “liberated”.
ang mahirap na tumatanda ay “gumugurang”, sa mayamang tumatanda, the description is “he or she graduates gracefully into senior citizenhood”.
ang anak ng mayaman ay “slow learner”, ang equivalent na anak ng mahirap ay “bobo” o “gung-gong”.
kung mayaman ka at marami ka kung kumain, you flatter your host who’d says “masarap kang kumain, ang i like you, you do justice to my cooking”, kung ghastly peasant ka eating the same amount in the same house, your host say to himself or herself na ikaw ay “patay-gutom o “hampaslupa”.

Life is ironic. “Masakit ang katotohanan”
