Why Help When Big Problem will Still Persist?

People have been telling me and posting on the blog that the issue of poverty will never be resolved. Though that is true, the issue of poverty should still be tackled. Even though the problem with poverty will continue on the big scale, it might not persist on the smaller scale. What that means is this: when someone helps a family in need, they are alleviating that family's needy disposition. The problem of poverty, even though it will persist on the large and national scale, it will not persist for that family that was aided from poverty. People who claim that helping people in poverty will not eliminate poverty are being ignorant; they want to find an excuse not to help others because they find that the big picture matters way more than the little picture. All I have to say to that is this: without the little picture the big picture would not exist. By helping anybody in poverty you are alleviating some aspect of their suffering, even if the big problem with poverty still exists overall it does not exists within the aided family. So when it comes down to relieving poverty, keep in mind while you might not be able to  change the overall condition of poverty you might be able to change the individuals that experience such poverty.
