當實際上確實有非常足夠的糧食，是哪個族群、哪個物種會讓高達每小時超過650名自己的孩子死於飢餓？
問題的關鍵在哪裡？缺乏的是什麼？
聽神談【解決人類「缺水與飢荒」問題的關鍵】
尼爾：很高興宇宙中有「必要的東西永遠不缺乏」的地方，但在地球上，我們沒那麼幸運。
其實你們有。在你們星球上並沒有你們必要的元素是你們將用盡的(There is no essential element that you need that you should run out of on your planet.)。
尼爾：真的嗎？像水這麼簡單的東西你怎麼解釋呢？正如我前面提到的，到今日人類的很大一部分還無法獲得清潔的水。
那不是一個缺水的問題，而是缺乏意志(That is not a problem of lack of water, but lack of will.)。你們的物種中沒有足夠的人關心提供清潔水給那些不能立即使用清潔水的人。如果有的話，這不會是一個問題。
尼爾：你說的沒錯，當然。世界資源研究所(The World Resources Institute)在其網站上報告說，「面臨極度缺水壓力的國家可以備有正確信息，實施管理和保護策略，以確保其供水。」
尼爾：不幸的是，處於經濟規模底部的國家可能沒具備這種能力。所以，那會取決於其他更富有的國家來幫助實現這一目標。
是的，這只是一個文明共享的問題(simply a matter of a civilization sharing)。我向你們保證，地球上不會有任何地方的人們無法獲得乾淨、純淨的水——以及其他任何需要「讓生活行得通」的事情——如果地球上的人們只要有足夠的互相關懷(simply cared enough about each other)。
但是，務必記得，正如你剛才指出的，我們正在談論的是一個「每小時讓超過650名自己的孩子死於飢餓」的物種。
尼爾：是的，我們當然還是一個原始的(primitive 演化初期的)物種。我們的行為——或缺乏行動的作為——證明了這一點。
不論原始與否，看在老天的份上，地球的人都不應該因為食物不足而死亡...
摘自《與神對話 4》第18章
Neale: It's nice that there are places in the universe where nothing essential ever runs out, but here on Earth we're not that lucky.
Actually, you are. There is no essential element that you need that you should run out of on your planet.
Neale: Really? What about something as simple as water? As I mentioned earlier, a huge percentage of humans to this very day has no access to clean water.
That is not a problem of lack of water, but lack of will. There are not enough people among your species who care about making clean water available to those who have no immediate access to it. If there were, this would not be a problem.
Neale: You're right, of course. The World Resources Institute reports on its website that "armed with the right information, countries facing extremely high stress can implement management and conservation strategies to secure their water supplies."
Neale: Unfortunately, a country at the bottom of the economic scale may not have that capacity. So it would be up to the richer nations of the world to help make this happen.
Yes, it's simply a matter of a civilization sharing. I assure you, there needs to be no place on Earth where people cannot have access to clean, pure water – and whatever else is needed to "make life work" – if the people of Earth simply cared enough about each other.
But it must be remembered that, as you pointed out earlier, we are talking about a species which lets over 650 of its own children die of starvation every hour.
Neale: Yes, we are a primitive species, for sure. Our actions – or lack of actions – demonstrate that.
Primitive or not, Earth's people shouldn't die from insufficient food, for goodness sake….
