Yet they live in posh neighbourhoods and drive luxurious vehicles
They take exotic holidays locally and abroad
They wear fashionable clothes and sport stylish mobile phones
They educate their children in expensive schools and universities
How come?
Citizens of some countries have a high life expectancy
They have built superb roads, railways, airports and ports
They access affordable and reliable healthcare, electricity and water supplies
Their politicians resign when scandals damage their reputations
Taking shortcuts is frowned at, integrity is prized
How come?
Most relatives despise you if your parents are rich
Other relatives regard handouts as a birthright
Most relatives won't assist you when you're alive, but they will contribute money towards your burial expenses
How come?
Most politicians deride their opponents because of their tribes
Most politicians deride their opponents because of their gender
Most politicians deride their opponents because of their sexual orientation
And most politicians blame immigrants for their countries' economic and social ills
How come?
Some countries possess minerals, but they remain poor or at war
Most countries possess no minerals, yet they have prospered and enjoy peace
Some countries are vulnerable to natural disasters so they take mitigating measures
Some countries are battered by natural disasters, yet they don't learn from them
How come?
Some religions claim they are the only salvation conduits
Some religions encourage their followers to take up arms to defend the faith
Some religions permit women leaders and gay clergy
Most religions can't fathom that
How come?
