What would the humble poor of the earth do with all the abuse that is being committed against them? What would they do? If they can no longer afford the high cost of living? Life that has become meager, ephemeral and unjust, but, in reality, it is not life, but the people who make up the life of the human being. 

   

I'm fed up with the abuse, everyone wants to cut a slice of people's lives, a piece of what is part of everyday life and a piece that is convenient for them. And it's not because I'm talking nonsense, girls, but I've lived it and I live it every day. People take advantage and take money from your purse or wallet for their own benefit - perhaps - to be in line with the rest of the world.

​

Where will we end up with high prices born of greed, of the weight of the coins they carry in their pockets? 

​

I'm not talking about politics, right? I deplore politics and I'm not aware of the best candidates, but of the twists and turns of the world, of the impudence of man, of the thoughtlessness of the lucky one.  

​

I look around and life has become a mad race, a galloping industry of abusively high prices. You can't go to a restaurant, McDonald's, which used to be cheap, costs more than forty dollars for a family of five or four. Really? People have stopped going to restaurants, and now they are opening until midnight to balance their income, like for example "Pollo Tropical". Pollo Tropical has gone overboard with so many increases. Don't they understand that we Hispanics keep their profits above the expensive price?

The Word of God says in Proverbs 6:1-5: My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, if you have made promises to a stranger, free yourself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the hunter.

​

What is happening to life? Everything has increased in ordinary amounts, even merchants who do not have huge expenses are doing their thing, taking advantage of the poor of the earth.

​

Everything is threateningly inconceivable, everything costs a fortune: an ice cream, a hamburger, going to the cinema; if you need a plumber, he charges you the highest price for what used to be half the price. Tenants no longer know how to increase their fees or monthly income.

 

This is a different conversation between us girls, full of internal anger, seeing how older people are abused, those who live strictly off their social security.    

​

It's awful to see old people counting their coins at a Publix cash register. Publix is ​​number one in price gouging, that's why I go to Walmart now. 

​

I am talking about this unpleasant subject because of my experience. I am looking at the slap in the face when it comes to paying taxes, buying new cars, buying houses. I am not talking about injustices for the sake of it, but so that you are aware of the reality of life.

​

The Holy Scriptures are proclaiming the freedom of the poor of the earth through the many readings found in the Bible: the freedom of the humble, the openness to the needy, to the helpless who need assistance, to the homeless who live asking for a crumb of bread, to the helpless sick who live in attics: to the orphans, the lost and the misguided, abandoned at the dawn. 

​

I hope that life becomes easier, more spacious and bearable for you, for me and for all the members of the earth.

The Holy Word of God says in Proverbs 13:7 the following: There are those who pretend to be rich and have nothing; there are those who pretend to be great and have great wealth.
