Meaning
This is a moral claim about poverty as something that is shaped by belief, habit, and self-understanding, not only by money. It can be read as stressing mindset and agency, though it also risks oversimplifying hardship. In practice, it lands when someone is discussing long-term change, education, or the limits of cash aid alone.
