I have always wanted to ask this question is it that there is no opportunity or they do not want to get rich
Mate please more to this I am confused here.
I think all humans are destined to be able to have whatever they want, so no one wants to stay poor, because poverty obviously will not be able to meet the desired needs. but to be able to meet all the desired needs, something is needed that can make all of that fulfilled, namely by working or trading. then by wanting to work or trade, it is certain that poverty will stay away, without any intention to do that, don't expect poverty to stay away. why do people remain poor as you ask, because they are lazy by not wanting to work or trade, because laziness will continue to be with the poor situation.
Then you haven't meet some weird people, there are some tribes that don't give a heck about what someone can achieve in their life time if they do this or do that, they will tell you that they are happy and you will see it all on their faces, even you that want the best life and many good things in life won't be as happy as they are.
You can buy someone a car and they will tell you they don't need it, they will tell you they only want to eat and sleep well, I have traveled to some part of the country where they don't want lots of money, they said it attractive anger, envy, bad intent and others, they see money as the tool that get ride of the real happiness.
