[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I think those who have experienced poverty themselves have a special empathy and compassion for others in the same position that people who have never wanted for anything will ever really understand" Wish this were true, but it's not always the case.[/quote] Yes, I have also heard -- Well, I pulled myself up by my own bootstraps, so why can't you?[/quote] I think there are two kinds of people who don't have much empathy or compassion for the poor: 1) people who don't have much empathy or compassion for others (these people often can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps because they have no problem stepping on others to get ahead); 2) people who lack exposure to poor people and how they live (these people a just unaware, they might not realize that a classmate of their child comes to school everyday without having eating a proper dinner the night before).[/quote]
