RE: Once poor, always poor!
You seem like a pretty good and grounded man from what I've been reading in this post. Of course everyone should live in relative wealth, no one should struggle buying groceries from their income.
But when it comes down to who you identify as, it is always better enjoying to be surrounded by normal people, the people where 99% of people come from, rather than looking down at anyone.
I think everyone should be heard. Everyone should have an equal say in all matters they are affected by - whether it be on a governmental level or inside your own family. Sadly this is not yet the reality we live in. But I feel like in your example, when I look at your Hive-Account for one second without reading much more of it or analyzing it in depth: you found your way to be heard online. That is something nice, that it seems hard, but indeed more possible to be heard online at least by some people. You will find people that except your looks, your personality, your views. And in your specific case you seem to have found them here on Hive
Best of luck to you!
Thank you for the kind take. I was raised in the suburbs of Lagos Nigeria, fighting genetic chronic conditions from birth and even though I've lost every member of my once nuclear family, I'm grateful to God to have come this far, when no one gave me the chance. This alone is why I'm aligned in this manner. I've have known and seen people coming from a place of advantage, and sometimes I cannot relate to them, because I don't even have that much voice or opinion to go that far.
Yes, this is why as a common person, I feel better relating to my fellow common person.
As for Hive, yes, I've found a voice here, infact it's probably the only place I've actually found a voice that mattered. To be able the create, share my life experiences and opinion and use it to inspire and educate another person.
Thank you for the kind words
