Passion and Spiritual Poverty

 “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and forgotten by everybody is the greatest poverty.” by Mother Teresa.

You may be in poverty. But if you have passion, you are not poor. If we do not have money, we may not have cars or houses. We may not be called as a high level class. But we still are not different than other, we still are human. However, compare to people who do not have passion or deny following their passion, we are richer. We are rich because of our knowledge. We are rich because we have more happy days. We are rich because we have freedom.

Those who are in knowledge poverty do not know what is right for them to follow their passion.

Those who are in mind poverty usually do not accept what other think. They choose what is right or wrong base on only their thinking. And there is always a reason for them to convince other that they are right. Because of these people, some other cannot find their true passion.

Those who are in feeling poverty think everything is same. They cannot explore and gain joy from their passion.

Those who are in skill poverty cannot help people to find their passion. Some counselors do not have enough skill to lead a student to find their passion. This make student cannot decide what they have to do to find their right path, so they may choose to not choose.
