I have always wondered why so many people (70+% of world's population?) chose a life of poverty. At their life review and planning for the next incarnation, they could have chosen a life of wealth.
Perhaps poverty is an illusion and it is not taken into consideration when one plan for the next incarnation.
When I see the poor begging for money to buy food, those who are sick and can't afford to see a doctor, I find it hard to tell them it's only an illusion and they can break out of it.
I have seen slums where the people are extremely poor, yet they are quite happy. They share whatever food they have with others and they help and support each other. There are very few signs of separation. Everyone is accepted in these societies and everyone does his or her best for the community.
Perhaps wealth is also an illusion, since these people do not need wealth to be happy. In many instances, when one or two of these people become richer, their society or tribe will start to break apart leading to separation.
