Poverty is a noose that strangles humility and breeds disres

Summary

This quote suggests that poverty has more than just material implications. It argues that poverty, like a noose, constricts one's ability to maintain pride and dignity, leading to a lack of respect for both God and fellow human beings. Poverty strips individuals of their basic necessities, which can erode their sense of self-worth and belief in their divine purpose. Ultimately, the quote implies that poverty goes beyond mere financial deprivation and has profound social and psychological consequences.
