It is a Curse to be Poor


I was comparatively poor in one stage of my life.I can remember how people tried to exploit me and humiliate me.This stimulated to make money but only by fair means.I now understand what it means to be rich and what it means to be poor.I am in a process of renouncing some material things.Riches do not mean the same to me any more.
All the people kept by LTTE as human shields are poor and non influential.Most of the people who voted for known criminals to day are poor.They were exploited.They were prone to exploitation because of poverty.These criminals will become more powerful and exploit them further.
One can be poor and happy if one understands that material wealth is immaterial.A human beings needs only some food , clothing and shelter.Most illnesses are self limiting.Thus health care is not very important.If you have sufficient means to have two meals for the rest of your life and have access to place of shelter and some rag around your waist and tell the world ,"Look here I have every thing I need!" you are a very powerful man.Nobody can exploit you and nobody can humiliate you!
