Do you agree that true knowledge is gained by experiencing poverty?

Yes. Sometimes you have to live with nothing to appreciate what you do have, when you have it.





I know from experience, and while what I experienced was not a lot compared to many others in the world, it was enough to comletely change my view on life. When I first moved out of my parents house, I made some horrible choices. I slept in my car a few times because there was nowhere else to go (I wasn't yet willing to go back home), and I couldn't afford to stay anywhere. I was lucky I had a car to sleep in.





It also teaches you not to judge others. There was one time I went three days without food. It might not seem like a long time, but it is for the person whose never gone without food before. I was confronted with an option I completely disagreed with, that would have not only bought me food but a place to stay as well. Before then, I would have said I would never even consider this option. But when your hunger is literally ruling your thoughts, you have no place to go, and there is nothing to live for... it is HARD to do the right thing. While I did the right thing... I gave it the kind of consideration I never thought I was capable of. Who is to say if it were my children I had to take care of, I would have been able to make the right choice?





When I finally went back home, this is also when spiritually/religiously I changed as well. When you're estranged from your family, and reunited, it's hard to go back to complaining about how they are with you. You are thankful just to have them in your life. You're thankful for the couch you sleep on for the next year because your moms apartment is small. You're thankful you have the money to buy your own food, even if it is 10 for 1 dollar raman noodle packs (food is food). And when you go from poverty back to being able to surivive... even things like the sky, or trees, or rain, even those things you look at in a way you never looked at before. You realize EVERYTHING is something to be grateful for.Do you agree that true knowledge is gained by experiencing poverty?
You don't have to be poor to gain knowledge. Actually a lot of poor people think it's okay to leave everything to God and just accept their hard luck, so they don't try and help themselves, but actually, God will only help us if we help ourselves first.
Aslam-o-Alikum,


How are you brother? Well it's not true for all the cases but yeah in most cases that is true...
Poverty prevents you from various Fitnah that could possibly make you lose your head and forget to be grateful to the Creator.
Fair enough assumption.





.
definitely agree
No! because true poverty you are lucky if you survive.
Yes because you appreciate the meaning of life, the worth of money and how much we take what we have for granted.
Don't care WHO said it first time round - it's still rubbish.
agree for sure!
yes because it will make you apreciate what god has given. common sense much?
