There is Dignity in Poverty
Chances are that I will never win the lottery. At 36 years old, I may never become a major professional like a lawyer or a doctor, but my dignity does not come from my title. My dignity comes from knowing that I am a person, I belong on this earth or organism, I matter, and that I'm no less than a doctor. Sure I will never contribute as much as a doctor can in terms of saving lives, but I belong here. I belong here because I did not ask to be born. I belong here because God put me here. I may not be a doctor, I may not have a signature, but I AM.
I do play the lottery. I play with the
hopes to get Navient off my back. I play to afford to go to the
doctor more often for preventive care. I play not for happiness, but
for less stress. I think you can be stressed and still be happy.
So if you are waiting for money in
order to travel then you are not using your imagination. There are so
many parks. There are so many buses. There are so many trains. If
you are reading this then you have access to internet, so you likely
have access to a park. Fly a kite. Have fun. There are plenty of
happy poor people in the world. Poverty is not a disease. Do I
want to move up in the world? Hell yes...
I'm told I carry myself with dignity
like it's a bad thing. Why is it foreign to carry myself with dignity
simply because I am poor? I get so confused when people think that
poverty means being a cockroach with low self-esteem. They act like
they did something wrong in order to be poor, so they run around
fighting to keep their daily bread with the very people who are just
like them. But, you are not a cockroach. So you'll hear people say
they are nothing or you are nothing, but you are very much something.
Everything is interconnected and the people who do not understand
are naive AF.
I do not have to look like Halle Berry
to dress nicely. I do not have to be super intelligent to read. I
do not have to be a runner to eat well. Quality of life is simply
because if life is shitty, then you might have 80 years to live as
shit. Why would I do that to myself? I have a long time to live, so
why wouldn't I want it to be the best? I am not trying to leave
behind a legacy, but 80 years of living is a long time not to make
the best of it. So if you have to go to Dollar Tree to buy your
Christmas decoration, then buy them at Dollar Tree. You can make a
whole lot happen for yourself with very little. While everyone looks up for God to rescue them, and although He is Almighty, work with what you have.
