I knew a guy who claimed he was in a class where the professor was going over a long derivation that was for the most part going way over his head. He had the blackboard almost completely filled with equations when all of a sudden he stopped dead in his tracks and just stared a the board for about 20 seconds. He then started to frantically erase everything saying "I'm terribly sorry. I just realized this has a practical application and is outside the scope of this class."

That is perspective, but is it reality? How many of the economic poor, are rich otherwise, or vice versa? Reminds me of something i read recently:

Strong identities can come only when people are embedded in a rich social fabric. They can come only when we have defined social roles — father, plumber, Little League coach. They can come only when we are seen and admired by our neighbors and loved ones in a certain way. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds.”

You take away a rich social fabric and what you are left with is people who are uncertain about who they really are.
