What is poverty to you?

Poverty is inferiority complex. It is a relative term that may mean different things to different people. By whose standards do you classify one as poor? A farmer with 700 herds of cattle, several children and several hectares of land but sleeping in a grass thatched house considers himself rich and is an envy of his neighbours. On the other hand he may be said to be poor if you use other standards to gauge him.
