As far as the levels of poverty, .. The main reason I used it as generality is because I think of poverty as merely a tool or means. But I guess the main reason would be the parents insatiable desire.. knowledge and wealth wouldn't be able to stop that.
It certainly is. Obviously it does not sum up everything, but it definitely points towards the way nobody is in a cultural/societal/religous vacuum.
Oh well if people are sucked in a cultural/societal/religous vacuum as opposed to making decisions with their own thoughts (even stupid ignorant thoughts)...they aren't worthy of having a brain.
Because humans always desire, once a desire is accomplished , a new one arises. Like now i desire to buy a few items and I can't wait to get my pay check, as soon as i get those things I want to buy, sooner or later I will have a new things to buy or other non-material desires.
