Poverty and self-worth

Economic hardship damages self-worth not merely through material deprivation but through internalized messages that money measures human value, creating a psychological trap where those with least resources blame themselves most. Breaking this link requires recognizing that poverty reflects structural circumstance and chance, not character—a distinction that restores moral clarity about what anyone owes themselves.
