Poverty Wealth Rich

More From Cullen Hightower

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.
Looks Elements Poverty
When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.
Teacher Jobs School
When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.
Men Rights Political
Wealth and poverty are seen for what they are. it begins to be seen that the poor are only they who feel poor, and poverty consists in feeling poor. the rich, as we reckon them, and among them the very rich, in a true scale would be found very indigent and ragged.
Feelings Would Be Poverty
It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at princeton .... however, i have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.

The thing a drama school can't give you is instinct. it can sharpen instinct but that can't be taught, and you have to have intuition. it's an essential ingredient.
