The worst poverty is to have lost the connection to life. This is the dark side of the wealthy countries in the world, we have lost the natural way of life.

I appreciate your input and discussion Karsten. I agree that connection is an essential element to life.

There is a balance between what Karsten and Annelise write. I should say middle ground. Gabriella talks about taking care of others.

I'm still confused about where this is going. There will always be those who have more than others; why does that make them poor? Any time there is a difference between people or circumstances, others feel it must be justified in some way. It's not true.

A lot of people like me grew up poor. I'm still poor when you consider the lives of some to my own.

I think at some point, you might get to those who, like Gabriella pointed out, suffer for some reason.

I really wish this series would get to a point.

We keep going into the discussion and the depths of poverty. Exploring people’s perspective and understanding what poverty means to them. Poverty is a complex issue we are trying to do a deeper dive into the subject.

What means to get to a point? What basically means a point that fits your interpretation and conditioning. The discussion itself is the point. My point is very clear. And the other points are clear too. It would interesting to clear out what you mean with "get to a point"

I think it is important to have this conversation, ask questions and see perspectives from different people.

Absolutely, the different perspectives are essential to view the big picture. And it is very inspiring to talk to someone who thinks different.

Absolutely true. In our actual culture we have reduced wealth to material abundance. In a healthy society wealth is consider to all areas of life, material and non-material.

True Karsten. I feel so rich because of some of the amazing connections I have with friends and family and colleagues.

I agree 100% true wealth is built in connections and community.
