[QUOTE="Ygrene Imref, post: 71614499, member: 395531"] It is overwhelmingly easy to blame the poor for their destitution if you [B]ignore the socioeconomic, psychological and institutional [/B]paradigms set up to keep poor people poor, and rich people rich. Even more, the boundary that separates these classes is thinning out [B]by design[/B] (the alleged "middle class.") In fact, I would venture to say it is the result of the educational system that prevents [B]anyone[/B] from truly understanding how one can become impoverished [B]to no fault of the individual. [/B] Of course, there are cases of poeple that make silly, irresponsible decisions. There is also the case of people who, by providence, are [I]chosen[/I] to be "poor (although you are really rich)" (2 Corinthians 8:9, Revelation 2:9.) I was destitute by circumstance I would like to think was no fault of my own (deception, wrongful accusations,) but the experience actually showed me [I]how[/I] to be rich. He (Christ) isn't being overly spiritual when He says the riches of this earth are marginal at best compared to the Kingdom within you - and that the cache you store is for [I]eternity[/I], as the fleeting paradigms of worldly richness have no foundation. In that time, I learned what family, friends and associations meant, so that now I can better live a life with the science and hindsight into the world as we know it today - [B]for God[/B]. The reason I believe destitution is a perpetual thing (since antiquity,) is because there is an illusion that one must accept destitution as a providence of God. This is the thing wealthy swindlers of paradigms past (and current) have said in order to sedate the mind of one impoverished. There are also cliches used (such as "I am rich in spirit" ... and also rich in capital) to induce [I]feelings[/I] of contentment: [B]making the best with what you have as being the [U]mettle[/U] of a (wo)man. [/B]Several institutional, educational and social paradigms use this to keep people positions "where they belong." In the way that people allegedly elect the governments to handle these paradigms, it is all of our fault. In terms of an individual human basis - it is still all of our faults. We do not "keep" each other; we judge, ridicule, scoff and blame. So, the perpetuity of destitution falls on the "rulers" but it also falls on all of us for seeing it and not coming together to fundamentally change it. There are 70,000,000+ "rulers," and 6,930,000,000+ humans; this should be easy work by the numbers, and even easier once "we, collectively" are educated, and relieved of our collective ignorance.
