Pain and Poverty

They're isolating.

One causes you to lose interest in the things you care about, the other keeps you from doing anything about the things you care about.

Pain is all consuming sending you inside yourself.  Poverty is all consuming as you struggle with each day.

Pain will have you snapping at your friends.  Poverty has you avoiding them.

Pain can keep you from getting out of poverty.  Poverty limits the ways you can treat the pain.

Pain when you're young can often be worked through.  Poverty when young is often a temporary condition.

When your old they knock you to the ground.
