We in the western world are so sure that our neighbors a have enough!
How do we assume that poverty exists only for those in the third world?
There are different levels of poverty and it has a social environmental scale.
If you live in America and your parents don't have work or you are an resident of Africa and there is not water to grow your food to support your family, how is it possible to measure what is worse?
The idea is to try to have a standard of measurement that is acceptable for all people, give them all the tools to live a better upgraded and sustainable lifestyle.

Wisdom of choice – giving and receiving.
Truemanity came into being in order to fill a gap that exists in community structure; to support the community and give members a viable plan that is implementable. The intention is not just to talk about a new perspective but to shift the paradigm in order to make social change easier.
We as individuals feel we have no power to change the situation and think this is the natural order of things…………. the way of the world. We alter our values and accept the inferior to exist in certain areas of our life. Social structures are based on domination; egotism and competition.
Here we want to address the needs of the individual and the community. We want to create the “something else” that will enhance people’s lives. We want to turn the system around by example and encourage the community to start acting on a different level; a level of their choosing that satisfies their needs and that of their community.
The path we choose is positive interaction. We want to consciously move into the area of giving and receiving in order to satisfy our personal needs and the needs of others. We normally see giving as a way of satisfying someone else’s need or as an alternative in order to get back something for ourselves. It is also hard for some of us to accept a gift because it could make us beholden to someone.
We believe that we have created a new path; evolved a kinder way forward; created a new norm in order to restore human value.
These paradigms can be strengthened and promoted.
Now let’s talk about a subject that in many cultures is taboo to discuss with those that aren’t your closest…….Financial needs………………………….the need for capital to run one’s life. The ability to provide another person with an additional way of supplementing income may be considered a way of GIVING.This allows us to show our caring of each other establishing bonds of communication and community; enabling us to show recognition and gratitude to our community. To extend this further we will be promoting better understanding in the world.
