I can tell if someone has never been poor by how they talk about poverty. People who have never been poor have this weird fantasy of "Poor, but happy" "They are just simple folks who appreciate the simple things in life". They've created this false ideal that people in poverty have less to worry about somehow.

@RickiTarr Money or a lack there off can bring people to very very dark places, like standing on the edge of an event horizon at a black hole, no matter how hard you try, you'll go down
