Why Being Poor is a Misfortune / myLot

Being poor is a misfortune if you are making the wrong decisions towards the path you want to take. So it is important to plan and think of positive ways to overcome and achieve the kind of life you desire and you deserve. If you are suffering so much now, do not despair while living. Go out. You look up. Feel the wind. Look at the people. Smile and be thankful because you are still alive while living in the situation you are in. Not everyone is as strong and courageous as you. Embrace your imperfections and make things happen. Keep moving... Photo credited to THOMAS BENNIE (2020) Source:

Yes, actually I should say it this way, "both misfortune and a privilege". It is good to know that your taking it as a challenge to make good improvements in your life.

I don't agree that being poor is misfortune. For there are poor people who become successful and become rich. It's only misfortune for the lazy and unproductive.

First, I like the man in the black jacket. Albeit I believe he is an angel, for angels move to the light source. Second, the poor are there to test the rich, and see if these wealthy people will descend from their castles and invite the poor in to dwell. The poor are assured of the kingdom of heaven where they will never go hungry. It's the rich who has the misfortune of having so much they cannot part from it.

@Anthony1023 With your proficiency in English, you put many senators and representatives to shame. Who is rich? No, not they but you who can write and teach and relate to your fellow man. Glad you have been guided to the right path. Now it's your turn to give back by guiding others, too. Never never apologize for the humble situation God has put us to be. That is saints' passage to eternal life. The poor are always first in God's invite to heaven.

Yes i believe in angels and i do believe in God. I came from a poor family. I have always wanted to have a career and a good education. With my strong faith, He sent me people to help me direct my life. I graduated in a good university because of them and I am very very thankful.

If ever reincarnation is true, I want to be born to a good and wealthy family.

Happiness and satisfaction are two different things. Happiness is when you have all the things you need or at least you have means to sustain them. Satisfaction goes with all the things we always wanted to have. If i am going to ask you, which among the two you preferred most? Happiness or satisfaction?
