Interesting thing to relate this philosophical question to the roots of poverty… I guess somehow you are right. If someone doesn’t know who he/she truly is, one can’t create lifegoals and without any goals one won’t work hard for anything. But I guess it is more the lack of passion, the lack of knowledge, the lack of ambition and maybe also the lack of support that leads one into poverty. I think it is always helpful if one knows what he/she wants and who he/she is, but it isn’t necessary to always stick to this. Life is a path full of ups and downs, turns and obstacles. I have changed the view on who I am several times in the last years (it’s been a time full of fast changes in my young life), but I always followed an idea and a dream in my heart – and I think that’s what I all comes down to in the end. I see myself as the sum of my experiences in the past and the things a thrive to achieve in the future. As long as I try my best to reach my goals and be able to get support when I am in trouble, I wont end up on the streets I guess – might be only my simple-hearted opinion.
