Do you have a relationship with your teeth, gut or brain? Because poverty tend to be bad for your physical and mental health.
There is a large gap in life expectancy between the richest and the poorest, not to mention the quality of that life. Poverty is not just a deprivation of possessions, it is a deprivation of housing, education, employment and health care. Increasingly it is a deprivation of clean air, water, healthy food and physical safety.
Poverty is a ruinous gravity well that chews you up and spits you out as a twisted shadow. It traps people in vicious cycles that can last for generations. You can escape it alive, but you can't escape it unscathed.
