I read on Jasdeep’s blog that today is blog action day, and so I’m jotting some stuff down.
Everybody seems to be vaguely aware of some supposed link between stress and illness, but I never see people considering the ramifications. A few years ago I read The Status Syndrome by Michael Marmot. He argues that life in a society with a big distance between the top and bottom is toxic to the people at the bottom. In other words, feeling like you occupy a low rung on a social ladder slowly kills you.
So, here’s what I want to say about poverty. Poverty isn’t the state of living without modern conveniences. It is the mental state that comes from too much anxiety, desperation, and hopelessness.
Absolutely agree with your thoughts.
The sense of being powerlessness,hopelessness push a person further down the social ladder
Atarax (hydroxyzine) for Anxiety: I take this along with Lexapro… I was having such hard times falling asleep due to nine million things going on through the day … then the anxiety kicked in…sometimes I would be up for hours while everyone is sound to sleep…When I started taking this I fall asleep within thirty mins and usually sleep sound. It is not addicting… and good price for the good things the meds do
every one is pover i think, effort and hard work will make them rich.
