'Poverty is not just a lack of money; it is not having the capability to realize one's full potential as a human being'.

Since long Poverty is seen as a lack of money but in reality we should be concerned with capabilities instead, whether a person has whole that liberty that he or she admires. Poverty is not natural, it's man-made.
Mahatma Gandhi quoted, 'Poverty is the worst form of violence
Yes, Mr. Gandhi Ji is right. Where people are stifled by a blob of this poverty, on the other hand, millionths never realized that they would be lying in their homes being pain-stricken. What I mean to say is that despite not being poor in terms of money, people are pain Stricken by a lack of opportunities. The reasons for such miserable conditions can be vast. Let's take into consideration- Domestic Issues. Undoubtedly, Men lavish all illegitimate desires while they compel women to adhere to all norms made by androcentric society. Therefore, their wings get tormented if they question their liberty and opportunities. Isn't this Pathetic? I wonder. Well, this issue is quite a serious and genuine one. Then comes another serious Predicament - Overpopulation. Well, I did not say that the government is not serving us with opportunities but the problem lies within us. Population and jobs are inversely proportional to each other. That is more the population, less jobs. Therefore, making people are deprived of jobs and basic necessities. Thereby, making them poor.
Moreover, many of us used to believe that people with an abundance of resources (money inclusive) are generally happy and cherish their contented life and serenity. But with coming maturity, I realized that this is not the case. Happiness lies within which means inner happiness is utmost. I wonder, What is the use of that money that does not give us happiness? I wonder, Is Poverty genuinely all about lack of money? Big No to this question. For instance, Wajid Khan- despite being one of the rich singers and composers died of Covid-19 and Kidney Failure. He could not even use his money. He did not get a chance. He was busy with his work. When genuinely he realized that this is actually time to enjoy and live life to the fullest. He died. A big question arises, What is the use of such money? This is actual Poverty. Unfortunately, Wajid Khan was a poor man with a lot of money.
Also, Someone who has very little resources, like a person from generations of poverty, will have a longer road and a bigger challenge in their journey to a better life. It will take support, encouragement, mentors, and acceptance from people they trust and eventually, they will succeed and that will make them rich. That's actual richness. Pain shows us what actual richness and Poverty is. Nonetheless, Poverty is about much more than just money. We now understand that it is also about the standard of living and different types of deprivation. Perhaps as the next step, we need to remind ourselves that the poor are trapped in a social reality. And this determines their choices and the chance of progress. Across the world, social norms have been constructed by the rich. And institutions have been designed for the rich. A family is not poor only because there isn't enough money; they are poor because neither of these creations serves them. This, too, must be counted.
