Poverty is Never a Deliberate Choice!
Have you ever heard of an award for the top most poor person in the world?
I'm yet to meet someone who has chosen the path of poverty as a lifestyle. What I know poverty is a circumstance either we found ourselves based on many factors from inheritance, bad decisions, lack of focus, lack of initiative, lack of resources, lack of knowledge, bad peer influence, lack of support etc. In general poverty isn't deliberate and thus not permanent situation, you can turn the tables no matter how long it might take you. #NeverGiveUp
One factor of poverty is limited resources.
We can strive with whatever we have to see ourselves towards the lifestyle that we want and that can't be a life of poverty.
Leadership & Poverty
Any leader who perpetuate poverty either knowingly or unknowingly should be charged for degrading humanity.
A leader should be seen to be on the forefront of creating a decent life for all rather than riding on the plight of the majority poor to create a few groups of rich people.
Life Lessons:-
Never judge anyone for you don't know what they are going through to make it happen and everyone as a unique story in regards to what they are doing to get out of the poverty situation. The best thing you can do is to empathize and offer whatever support to pivot them out of the situation.
