A poor person has one worry, hunger. A rich person creates infinite worries. Thus, the old saying “ idle hands are the devil’s workshop”. There are many studies showing the happiest people as a whole are small isolated tribes. They have to be productive to survive and find joy in simple daily activities. The answer is not in being poor, but in being productive and active. We get our self worth through personal achievements, not music, movies or the government. Without personal achievements we are incapable of helping others. ( I just had a thought that this may explain why there are many professors that are fairly worthless.)
