As I grow older, I’ve come to realize that personal effort often pales in comparison to the power of existing social systems. Poverty isn’t just about the lack of financial resources—what’s even more disheartening is that discussions about poverty are usually led by those who have never experienced it themselves.

People say that if you are born with a poor status and still live in poor life its all your fault because there are a lot of opportunities right there. But in my perspective, it depends on the situation if you are a living in a country that has poor government management and a poor state of living and also a family that needs your support its hard to make a decision or you will let that go all and make a living in your own. People bonded with the responsibility in life reason even if they want to get out what they have they just focus to survival at least but those have an opportunity to make themselves more knowledgeable and well skilled so they can help themselves at least get up to the society. Not all people have the same struggle in life.

Indeed, many people use this saying to give advice or criticize others. But they don't know that if they are born in a country with a corrupt government, inflation or worse, where war is frequent. I believe that no matter how hard they try, they cannot escape poverty, even survival is a problem, let alone becoming rich.

Where we live is sometimes an important factor that determines our fate. To escape poverty, we need to consider many factors, trying and making efforts is not enough to escape poverty easily.
I see a lot of people giving advice indiscriminately without even trying to put themselves in the other person's shoes. Most people have no specific ideas other than general advice that everyone knows.
