Why is the world fighting Corona virus 🦠 than the way it normally fights hunger? Yet hunger claims more lives than corona virus!
I have a feeling that it is because corona is an urban virus traveling through air & affecting the rich yet hunger affects the poor.

At times, we condemn good people because we disagree with them over a few issues. We refuse to see the good they’re doing. Disagreements do not automatically make a person extreme, bad or evil. Learn to distinguish between the one who respectfully disagrees & the one who is evil!
