As we all know, our society clearly shows the existence of the classes and status. Rich people enjoy their high class status, hold high powers and have high access to everything. They think they are entitled to flaunt their wealth to the poor, entitled to be arrogant to the unfortunates. Recently, I saw two photos which prompted me to think about the words Entitlement, Humble and Poverty. People say a photo speaks a thousands word. I say, sometimes, a photo speaks about who you are, it speaks about the root cause of our society.

Entitlement
On New Year Eve., the world’s richest man Jeff Bezos rode his horse into the store Kemo Sabe in Aspen, Colorado, He raised his hat to those shocking onlookers with a defiant smile. I was wondering did he think it was a grand entrance to his self-centred world? Did he think the whole world was under his horse’s feet because of his money? Did he think the store should be his stable at his wish? Remember, this happened just a few days before the whole world know his half year long affair with his mistress and his divorce announcement on twitter. This made me sick to my stomach. Just imagine what would happened if anybody else behaved like this? He or she probably would get a fine or get arrested by the police. In some senseless rich people’s eyes, their money is their pass to the world. Entitlement!
2. Humble
On 15th Jan. the world’s second richest man Bill Gates was spotted patiently waiting in line to grab a burger, fries and a coke at Dick’s drive-in in Seattle. He put his hands in his pockets like you and I, calm and humble. He seemed quite enjoying the moment of normality, don’t give a damn about his massive fortune and celebrity status at all. He is a real man, his sight is not blinded by his money!
3. Poverty
In the of year 2012 , in a remote farmland, Guizhou, China, a 5 years old girl was shivering in a bitterly cold winter. Running nose was on her face. She looked as small as 3 years old. In the world, all she wanted was a candy and meat she hardly had a chance to eat! Does she deserve the life like this?
