the key word is poverty
being on land and having a garden while poor is far different than a poverty child in the city.
leaving poverty is not wrong, it is a step into what that person wants or desires out of their life.
if ya don't want to leave then don't...if you do, then don't be bashed by those who want more.
this is just super sad.
love your life, fine.
leave others to want what they want.
bashing the dollar is not the way to say life is great for anyone.
people live under 6500 per year and they are not on land to feed themselves. people live on under 6500 per year and have 6 kids and no hubby. people live on 6500 per year and want more. they should get more if the ambition and choices in life send them that way.
MOST people are backtracking that want the simple life.....thru financial troubles, stress troubles, etc. Or they sell that home and make cash to buy that simple life. Don't think that simple life comes without a price tag which some can actually afford. Backtrack to simple when desired is not the same as some in poverty fighting to move forward.
Most true poor want to move upward...who wouldn't? some few might not, but most do.
from that "poor" we had as kids that I read about, MOST have moved upward if not ALL......education etc being key to get more in life. No one is working the salt mines here. No one is stupd. No one is not inclined to have the knowledge to upgrade to a better life...it is just how far you want to take it. Some get this and are happy, some want a step more than just this.
true poverty is not romantic. go to the mountains and see how poor live. go ot the inner cities and see how true poor live.
THEY are not our poor. Throwing out the word poor when having so much is degrading and wrong. No one on this board is poor that I see.
Don't be using it as a shield, a badge of honor or anything else. It is not!!!

Now that we've hashed out all the little things..... time to go chop wood? Or is it more like fire up the chain saw and log splitter?
