Summary

This quote suggests that poverty is not simply a lack of financial resources but also a mentality or perspective. The speaker distinguishes between being poor, which they imply is a mindset or way of thinking, and being broke, which is described as a temporary condition. This implies that one's state of being impoverished is not solely determined by external circumstances but can also be influenced by one's mindset and beliefs about wealth and abundance. It implies that while being broke may be a temporary financial state, being poor is a more entrenched perspective that can be changed through a shift in mindset and attitude.

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
