The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence

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.

And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.
