I believe that poverty is associated to sin and goodness.
The sins of poverty scream. Drugs, prostitution, homelessness, vagrancy, alcohol, hunger, mental health issues, etc.
Poverty is also associated with goodness which tends to whisper. Folks sharing what little they have, supporting one another emotionally, protecting each other.
Poverty is supposed to be a spiritual by way that brings upon one incredible blessings and enlightenment!
Tell that to the average crack dealer in my city, Sarasota FL, and the answer will be, "What kind of drugs you be on woman! I don't want none of what you on."
I prefer calling sin and mistakes learnings, teachings and lessons.
