I appreciate your thoughts, thanks for such article.

Dignity and strength is within everyone, just one need to realize; take first baby step and “listen to it”. Loss of dignity, strength or purpose is cause of poverty. Poverty is not scarcity. Poverty is lack of willingness to improve circumstances. If people are shown vision, direction and social-system — people can improve circumstances by their own and start competing for best. “If you are competing then you are not poor.” Key to reduce poverty is to educate (vision and social-system) people and help people to value themselves.
