Is poverty and not having money the same thing? Explain.

Lack of money is one of the main reasons for poverty in any person in the world. If a person is not able to fulfill the basic needs of his family like food, clothes, shelter, health, education according to their requirement, then we can call him an absolute poor person. But poverty does not mean only not having much money.

On the contrary, relative poverty means being very poor compared to others in the society. In our society, a huge gap has been created between the poor and the rich. Some people are not able to fulfill their needs and some people are so rich that they do not even know the count of their entire wealth.

Do you think that poverty is man-made or circumstances in life create it? Mention 2 main reasons for poverty in your country.

No, I don't think poverty is man-made, it depends on the circumstances of life, some lazy and addicted people don't even try to get rid of their poverty, and due to their laziness and addiction, their whole family also gets into the grip of poverty.

Yes, one of the reasons for poverty is the weakness of the responsibility of the governments of any country, a corrupt government or a corrupt head of the government becomes the main reason for increasing poverty of the citizens of any country.

Lack of jobs in any country, inadequate infrastructure, lack of social security net, conflict and instability, social imbalance, financial deficit, human exploitation and domestic violence also become the main reasons for increasing poverty.

My country currently has a capable and stable government, they are providing free ration, pension, education, medical care etc. to the each poor of the country, and doing everything to improve their standard of living .

Give life experiences to prove that poverty is either man-made or circumstances in life cause it.

I want to give just one example from my life to prove that poverty cannot be man-made. One of my relatives suffered a huge loss in his business and his financial condition deteriorated and his family was on the verge of dying from hunger. But they did not give up.

The husband and wife did small jobs in people's houses, drove rickshaws all night and did jobs that were below their standard and educated their three children and made them capable people. Then in just 12-15 years, when the children grew up and got high-ranking jobs, their fortunes changed and now the family has become a normal rich family again.

A person refuses to cheat people to earn money and lift himself out of poverty. Would you say that the person is the reason why he is still poor or would you say that he is satisfied with poverty? Justify your answer

I think that no person can remain rich for long by earning money by cheating someone, because the real money is the money earned by hard work and dedication, which has a lot of importance in life. Money earned by dishonesty, theft, fraud is mostly used in gambling, alcoholism, drug abuse, or other bad deeds, and when a person gets addicted to such money, that money does not stay with him for long.

But if a poor man is able to take care of his family and children properly even with the little money earned by his hard work, then he feels very satisfied and proud. Even if such a person is not able to provide luxurious things to his family, but his self-respect is much higher than those who earn money by theft, dishonesty, and fraud. Such a person will never do any dishonest act to maintain his self-respect.

Thanks for reading my post, I pray to God for the progress and happy future of all Steemians.
