Surroundings and their effect on the Poverty cycle

Poor parents usually father poor offspring. Of course, there are exceptions to this general statememt. People who find their role models in society, in books, or in movies.
These role models can be real, or imaginary. They present us with new ways of doing things, new paradigms, and new paths to escape the vicious poverty cycle.
Lack becomes normal when one grows up in a family where scarcity is something to get used to, and sometimes to be celebrated as a virtue instead of being viewed as an affliction in need of a cure.
The belief that abundance opens the door to vice and perversion helps in a way to alleviate the sting we feel, when we come across people that are faring far better than us.
As a result poverty is tolerated as a constant life's companion. We can only emulate what we see and our imagination can only fabricate what is absorbss from our surrounding and the things we get exposed to.

Poverty and wealth is the result of the influences that we get or that we choose to get from around us, and how much we allow them to affect our life and daily behaviors.

Wealth and poverty are not the result of one big action or event, they are the patient accumulation of little actions, influences, suggestions and auto-suggestions.
