I think this picture makes a lot of sense, so I want to share it with everyone. As long as you have money, adults can maintain emotional stability. This statement might sound ironic, but I find it very true.
Parents fall ill and there's no money for medical bills – upsetting.
Children need education, but there's uncertainty about tuition – upsetting.
Wife wants a beautiful designer dress, but you can't afford it – upsetting.
Not wanting to take public transportation, but unable to buy a car – upsetting.
Desiring your own house, but unable to buy one – upsetting.
Craving good food, but constrained by your wallet – upsetting.
Playing cards, losing all your money – upsetting.
You see, all sorts of frustrations stem from not having money. I haven't even mentioned other life frustrations due to lack of money, for fear of making things even more upsetting.
Often, I hear people around me saying, ""Don't prioritize money too much, after all, it's just material wealth."" I'd retort back, it's only considered material wealth when you're not in need, but when you're still in need, it's an integral part of your life, okay?!
Perhaps it's only after experiencing true poverty, living in dire straits, that one gains some understanding. Such an understanding can be painfully acquired. But to break free from this cycle of poverty – how easy is that? Some people strive their whole lives and yet remain within the same cycle.
Maybe that's why so many impoverished people dream of overnight wealth, of a sudden windfall, hoping to turn their fortunes through gambling. When was the last time you heard a wealthy person saying they want to get rich overnight? Probably never. It's always the poor who say that.
So, don't blame us for having fanciful thoughts, for daydreaming, because we truly yearn to escape this circle of poverty, to break free from the daily frustrations caused by money."
