The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence

Summary

This quote suggests that poverty inevitably leads to reliance or dependence on others or external support systems. When individuals are lacking in essential resources or opportunities, they may not have the means to fulfill their basic needs or achieve self-sufficiency. As a result, they become reliant on others, such as charities, government assistance, or family members, to provide for their needs. This dependency perpetuates a cycle of poverty as individuals struggle to break free from these external supports and regain their independence.

Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.

If there was a controlling power outside the universe, it could not show itself to us as one of the facts inside the universe -no more than the architect of a house could actually be a wall or staircase or fireplace in that house. The only way in which we could expect it to show itself would be inside us as an influence or a command trying to get us to behave in a certain way. And that's just what we do find inside us.

I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head. First I see the ball where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass. Then the scene quickly changes, and I see the ball going there: its path, trajectory, and shape, even its behavior on landing. Then there is a sort of fade-out, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images into reality.
