One does start to understand why some people are indeed poor.

Problem is any one of us could be in the " have-not " category at any time. Be it though an accident, job loss, disease, etc, the list goes on.
I do a lot of work with the disabled and not one day goes by when I say to myself " I could be in this situation, this could be me or someone close to me " so I do all of my planning\work with that in mind.
