When I heard this sentence, I was really shocked. Because I am poor, I can't afford medicine, so there is no cure. Is this the status quo of our society?
I saw some interesting questions and answers in the interview recently. "Where is the difficulty of losing weight?" The host asked. "Because of poverty, because of poverty, I have no money to go to the gym and can't afford to eat diet meals. How can I try the most economical and effective way to lose weight? In the end, you will only struggle between eating and not eating again and again, getting fatter and fatter. Because you are getting fatter and fatter, the chances of promotion and salary increase are getting more and more slim and more pitiful. "
This forms a vicious circle, and poverty is the mutagen of all reactions.
Johns Hopkins University conducted a survey to study the influence of 790 children's family background on them. This survey has been going on for 25 years. The researchers found that 50% of children are still in the same social class as their parents. That is, it has not achieved class transcendence or decline.
Only 33 children from low-income families have achieved the bottom counterattack and entered the high-income group in their twenties. Only 19 children from rich families fall into poverty when they grow up.
That is to say: the descendants of the poor are still poor, and the children of the rich are still rich. Poverty seems to be a genetic disease, rooted in the depths of blood and passed down from generation to generation.
Both of these examples illustrate that "poverty is the original sin". Poverty is sin. Is that really the case? I beg to differ.
Indeed, poverty affects our vision, education and model. Life makes our hearts live only in front of us, and we can't imagine poetry and distance. But poverty is never an excuse for a person to give up himself and distort his life.
One of my senior sisters comes from the countryside and her family is very poor. Her college tuition depends entirely on the national student loan, and her living expenses can only be part-time every day. She never hides her poverty from anyone, and her clothes are always the same, with balls and silk off. The vamp has faded and the sole has degummed. She never seems to feel inferior, and her calm posture seems to say, "Yes, my family is poor, but I just have no money."
This senior is great. She spent almost all her spare time doing part-time jobs, but she didn't delay her studies. She also won the national prize for two years in a row. After graduation, I founded a counseling institution to help poor students in my hometown finish their studies every year. I can't imagine what kind of perseverance and persistence this is. As she said in a back-to-school propaganda, "I never hide my poverty because my spirit is rich." I have my own dreams, my own pursuits and my determination to do anything. "
Unfortunately, I have never met this senior, but in the descriptions of other teachers and predecessors, I have outlined an image of a "master" who is unrestrained and has a clear smile.
Poverty is never the original sin, but inner timidity is the greatest sin.
May all children with a demon in their hearts have a sword that can cut through thorns and be invincible.
