Extravagance Poverty Poor

More From Plutarch

Poverty is dishonorable, not in itself, but when it is a proof of laziness, intemperance, luxury, and carelessness; whereas in a person that is temperate, industrious, just and valiant, and who uses all his virtues for the public good, it shows a great and lofty mind.
Luxury Mind Use
Poverty is never dishonourable in itself, but only when it is a mark of sloth, intemperance, extravagance, or thoughtlessness. when, on the other hand, it is the handmaid of a sober, industrious, righteous, and brave man, who devotes all his powers to the service of the people, it is the sign of a lofty spirit that harbours no mean thoughts

We're looking at the singular condition of poverty. all the other individual problems spring from that condition... doesn't matter if it's death, aid, trade, aids, famine, instability, governance, corruption or war. all of that is poverty. our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself.

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.

Given a choice between a folly and a sacrament, one should always choose the folly—because we know a sacrament will not bring us closer to god and there’s always the chance that a folly will.
