Beauty of Poverty




Yes, although poverty is not usually described as beautiful, I can assure you that it is sometimes beautiful. Poverty is a strange phenomena that binds people from different unfortunate circumstances into a similar unfortunate economic reality. Poverty is most beautiful when it motivates someone to change their economic situation. For example; a person who was born into poverty but decided that they would no longer live a second best lifestyle, and thus they find a way to develope themselves as a person, and to also upgrade their quality of life. The best success stories are most often the ones that start out with a desperately poor person. It is always refreshing to see the underdog succeed. It is even more fulfilling to be the successful underdog. Stories about people who were born with nothing and have extraordinary characters and somehow find a way to make money and have a happy ending will never get old.
Poverty for some is alomost like the hot water that turns beans into great coffee. Or the pressure that would turn a lump of coal into a diamond. Poverty can be an honorable test of strength for those who overcome it. For those that succumb to it ...well that is a sad story for another day. My advice would be to overcome it.
Talk to you soon!
