Those poor, poor people, that are in so much pain they get used to it.

But more seriously, they are hard working and enduring people. They do not express their pain for various reasons.

And it’s so easy to become callous to the needs of the poor. It can be hard to remember that the grumbling angry person on the street is having a shitty ass life, and therefore, probably a pretty bad day

Being poor literally IS pain.
