Someone asked why you always criticize the poor as being unstable. In fact, what I criticize has never been “poverty.”


Instead, after long-term deprivation, a person’s inner structure starts to fall out of balance.
They are often full of contradictions: on one hand, craving respect; on the other, accustomed to protecting their self-esteem through attack.
On one hand, hating authority; on the other, naturally admiring and worshiping the stronger.
On one hand, hoping the world will be gentle; on the other, shifting their emotions onto weaker people.
Because people who have lacked a sense of security for a long time are usually emotionally unstable.
He both longs for validation of his value and fears being denied again.
So many behaviors are, in essence, not “bad,” but continued defense.
You’ll find that the more someone lacks resources, the more they sometimes emphasize status;
the more someone lacks dignity, the more easily they compensate by oppressing others.
So much of the brutality does not come from strength—it comes from imbalance after long-term deprivation.
Truly mature people have usually seen the fragility of human nature, but they no longer maintain their stability by hurting others.
