The world will never recover until poverty is seen not as a character flaw, but as a failure of society itself to provide for the most vulnerable.
My freaking God. I volunteered at a local charity org a bit this summer and one of the first things they told us in orientation was that "most people think that poverty is about what people lack. But it's actually a mindset." That pissed me the heck off not gonna lie.
Was it a religious charity org? Those ones are often condescending assholes like that..
It was, unfortunately, yeah.
There is no hate like Christian love.
