A little while ago I was shocked (again) to read a post by a "mage" who stated that the reason why people were poor was because they were spiritually poor. Like we were living in the eighteenth century or something. Kind of hard for me to put words to how much is wrong with that idea. I feel like if people don't understand we are obligated to help the poor, the sick, the orphaned, and not only that, we should take pleasure in it, that they are missing qualities that make life good: mercy and kindness. There is no demand on us that we be NICE people, but I do believe it is our duty and our pleasure to be charitable and kind to those in need.<br /><br />I have also been poor for a long time despite having my own biz for many years. Even so, I have done okay on account of being very frugal and living in an economically depressed, i.e., poor part of my state, where things are quite cheap. I turn 60 in November, and at that age, they allow a person to make more money and still qualify for food stamps. I'll qualify then, so you betcha I'm going to collect. No one had better try to shame me for it, either.
