Suffering

Suffering is often considered good for the soul. It builds character in those people who need it. You know . . . those others.

Other people.

Other people like: the poor, people of color, people from other places, women, but mostly the poor.

The very rich know that if you have enough character and work hard enough anyone can have money and money can buy a lot of ease.  In fact, God probably keeps you poor because he doubts your ability to handle money and therefore other things in your life -- like what to do with your own body, who you love, where your kids go to school.

Sometimes the rich suffer too, but unlike the poor, or the rest of us, they are just victims of circumstances beyond their control.
