The suffering is real.

I agree the tone is defeatist, but I don't blame the author or hold resentment for the expression of the suffering.

Poverty is a learned, psychological problem. Escaping the trap is possible, but not easy for most.

The disease of poverty can cured with education and liberty, many believe. Where education and liberty fail, poverty brings us all down and holds us all back from our potential.

Poverty isn't just for the poor. A significant portion of the wealthy also have a poverty of mind and perpetuate poverty by not investing in the future.



I think you are redefining poverty here.
