It's a painful things that some people are experiencing these days in the society, families and communities. These days if you don't have money people will not respect you in the community and is becoming unfortunately very rare for those people that doesn't have money. We lived in a society whereby they render and equates worth and dignity to people that have money only. People that has money can treat poor people with pity in the community and you will realized being poor can lead to shamed and frustrations.
People that doesn't have money are seen in the family and communities as irresponsible, worthless, and very lazy in the community even though their lack of not having money or poverty maybe because as a result of misfortune or systemic issues. People without money can be limited to have access to some certain opportunities and social participation in the community and family. Any choice you made will be shrinked if you don't have money. You will be treated as less intelligent, less capable, and even not worth listing anytime you stand to talk and your voice will be silent and ignored because you are not financially capable.
A lot of people were unable to attained higher institutions because they doesn't have money to go to school. Education, housing and jobs depends on having money to have accessible to it. People were judge in the community and family because of the kind of financial contributions they render to the community, how they dress, what kind of phone they have and how many educational qualifications they have obtained. So many people became depressed, hopeless and engulf with full of anxiety because the community or family doesn't appreciates their efforts and recognized their struggles but rather blamed them for being lazy and poor.
But in a healthy communities, people are respected regardless of their financial contributions and standard. Dignity supposed to be an inherent human rights base on your positive contributions for the growth of the community or society not just a financial standard or economic status. Some people becomes timid of how community and their own family treats them with condescension because of their inability to provide financial support even though their advice and opinions are impacting people's lives positivity. The community or society may failed to recognize one worth, because of the person's financial status, but having no money does not mean one is lacking dignity and self worth.
For someone to stayed and worked and survived this hard economic challenges and conditions especially in my country Nigeria, despite trying to maintain his hope and continue struggles, that is a sign of dignity and strength and not a weakness or laziness. Having money is very good because is the foundational tool that drives commerce, enable one to plan well and reduces uncertainty in life. And also, having money empowers people to think deep and outside the box and empower society to prosper.People that have money in the society provides a lot of benefits of supporting the society or community economic stability, one's well-being and legal development.
Having money in the society eliminate ineffectiveness of buying and selling of goods in the society and can led to the development or increments of economic activity for business to be trade easily in the society. People with money can save for emergency, future and retirement. But people without money are regarded as people without future in the society because there's nothing to show for, no retirement or any long-term financial investment and planning for future purposes.
Without money, it will very hard and difficult to determine what goods or services are worth relative to each other and it can even lead to a confusion at the end. Without money to fund large social projects or grow an economy in a society will be very difficult. We lived in a modern and specialization world there economies depends on division of labor. Economic activity will be hard to sustain without money, as so many people spend more money and energy for exchange. And because of this, one can lost dignity in the society and family if you cannot sustain a successful negotiations and exchanges due to one's inability to provide a financial support.
Even in the family, your family and friends respect you more when you are financial contributing to the growth of the family and become a source of financial support system to them. People with money are given social and legal respects, titles and more attention are given to them in a family meetings than those without money. Literally, in the world and in the society we all lived, it doesn't matter how brilliant, intelligent and smart you are. If you don't have money people will render your self worth worthless and useless. Generally, people respect you because of your money and what your money can be a help to them or the society.
