“Money doesn’t buy happiness” ok and poverty buys what exactly
where is the lie
Out of poverty creates strength and compassion. It’s weird how that works.
i sure wasn’t feeling the strength when i was skipping class because i was too weak to walk there after going 2-3 days without food, and i definitely wasn’t compassionate when i was checking every time i walked home to see if there was an eviction notice on the door. stop trying to fucking make it seem like a good thing.
I hate people who romanticise poverty
People who romanticize poverty never lived it.
I wasn’t strong when we lived in a mobile home behind a payless shoestore and all I had were hand me downs. I wasn’t compassionate when I went days without eating.
Money might not buy happiness but it can buy basic living conditions, food and a chance for higher education and the freedom to peruse your interests which is pretty damn close.
