That's normal, everybody is afraid of adversity.

A sick person can spend all he has to regain his health. Because he believes he can recover the money when he is healed. So yes, your health is invaluable.
But that's different from Poverty, especially Chronic Poverty.

Consider 2 men with families.
Mr A has Chronic Poverty & is unable to provide basic necessities of life for his family. Manages (even begging) to live for 90yrs & dies.

Mr B is very wealthy.
Funds his Children Education, with enough investments to adequately take care of his family long after death. Uses his connections to establish his children.
Develops Chronic illness @60 & dies.

Do you think Mr B would have wished to be like Mr A in his Chronic Illness?
No,Mr B will never wish to be like Mr A but,why will Mr A have families when he’s in abject poverty?

Well, your answer implies that Chronic Poverty can be worse than Chronic Illness.

&Are you implying there are no families living in abject poverty, living from hand to mouth & barely able to afford basic necessities of life?
Of course, there are such families. & the consequences can be devastating. The kids can even turn to criminals.

Yes Good Health is a Blessing. Infact Health is Wealth.

I doubt.
So Chronic Poverty can be worse than a Chronic Illness.

sighs. I understand your point. Just be grateful man. I know what I go through everyday. Anxiety, discomfort, pain, despair and what not. You can't even enjoy yourself when you have little change. No be life be this.

Bad health is worse...both physical and mental, especially when it is critical. At least you can always get money, but some people have health conditions that can't get better.

I remember when I was in a critical health condition...hospitalised for weeks. There was a time at rhe hospital they said i couldn't eat anything or even drink water. I was living on drips. Imagine not putting anything in your mouth for a week. Cold bottle of water looked like Gold to me just looking at it from afar.

Of course they are well,I can’t blame them..To me,Chronic poverty can be broken if they were given basic assistance and that’s from the govt..In America they give out food stamps and ebt cards to the poor,just to make sure they have food to eat..If govt can make some policy reforms for them,Dey situation can change..

Surely there are families living in chronic poverty..I feel if the govt were doing their best they won’t be people living in such conditions..

Sickness
When a chronically sick rich one sees a poor one in good health and vitality, he/she wishes to live a free life even at such level of finance. This, no one will communicate but stocked in the mind, only showing from a smile or a weak posture.

So many situations of life are worse than poverty due to lack of money or basic needs of life.
1. Real sickness.... e.g Lukemia, Parkinson
2. Impotence..... Seeing a babe that you love and baby feels the same but....
3. Barrenness..... Go and ask those who has all the good things of life but not blessed with fruits of the womb.... They will offer to die in penury in exchange for the fruit of the womb.

Not having Jesus before you taste death is the worst thing than poverty because both the rich and the poor must taste death. At least avoid eternal poverty.

Lol..🤣🤣

What else coul be worst than poverty, if not broke girls.
They don't have, yet sense of entitlement full the whole of their skull and to compound it, they are very arrogant.
As if that will make up for their lack.
