I noticed that people trapped in poverty have an inability to discern good from bad, and poverty is maintained within a community when that lack of discernment is enforced socially.
Poverty is not financial, capitalism has distorted the meaning of poverty. poverty is a lack of safety.
physical labor and emotional labor is taught as valid labor for the oppressed class, but for the rich, the labor is in communication, perception, and discernment. so the more I make decisions based on microgestures or microfailures of integrity, the more I learn to trust myself and the more I build consistency inside myself and learn to act without full knowledge or certainty. Therefore I improve my quality of life by having to spend less time healing from pain. Internal consistency is the medicine for the external inconsistency that is abuse.
I move from visible value to invisible value when I no longer need external authority to check my decisions. What is taught as irresponsibility when we disobey authority is an advanced form of agency.
