Poverty dulls the wit

 It is said that "Poverty dulls the wit." I totally agree with this word of wisdom.

 Most Japanese pay too much attention to what other people think. I am Japanese, and I also had thought so. Now I can't afford to care a bit what people would say of me. Given general attitudes today, it doesn't look good to be past 30 and still not have a job. People actually have reacted in various ways to hear that. But that's the way the cookie crumbles.

 By the way, some Japanese scholars and socialists mistakenly believe that people in poverty feel jealous for the rich person including scholars themselves. That is totally wrong. As long as they work effectively we are not upset so.

 I estimate that the poor people do not envy others. The only thing I should do is to study something. To solve the prejudice which is not based on reason or actual experience, I'm going to test my hypothesis.

 Recently I feel that living a better life is easy in my future. In fact I have avoided thinking about my future as long as I could. At the same time, I have continue to study.

 The result will be obviously. Needless to say, my daily study is very hard. Then my brain is partly going mad.

 Poverty dulls the wit, however, it's getting better.
