If you have never been poor, you will never understand how difficult the lives of the poor are. Sometimes when faced with poverty, we become helpless, and even cry in a secret corner for fear of disturbing the happiness of others.

On Zhihu, someone recently shared his own story about how poverty makes life really difficult:

I am 25 years old this year, my family lives in the countryside, my father died early, my younger brother had a stroke, and my mother is not in good health. Although I work very hard, my monthly salary is only about 2,000 yuan (more than 7 million VND), family life is very difficult, many times I even thought about committing suicide because I was so desperate.

But then I thought again, if I end my life because of despair, who will take care of my younger brother and mother. Thinking at that time made me suddenly realize that my life was really dedicated to my family. Since then, I have worked “half to death”. Now, although I am not rich, at least I can help my family live more comfortably.

Sometimes we feel that life is really too difficult and the root cause of this difficulty is not having money. For many people, poverty brings unexpected feelings of heartache and despair.

After this story was shared, many other members wrote their stories in the hope of finding sympathy or receiving words of comfort and encouragement to overcome difficulties.

“The world is so big, why am I the poor one?”

After graduating from university, my family trusted me and sent me to a newspaper office. I thought I would have a better life, but no, this dream soon faded. After being accepted into the editorial office, the salary for an apprentice was 800 yuan (about 2.8 million VND), but I did not feel sorry for myself and lived very simply with that small salary for 2 years.

Then 2 years later, my father became paralyzed on one side due to a disease related to the heart and blood vessels. He lost his ability to work, which meant that my family, which was not rich, became even more miserable. At this time, poverty made me even more desperate. I suddenly had the idea of ​​quitting my job to find a new job with a higher salary, otherwise my life would fall into the abyss.

One autumn evening, after dinner, I cautiously told my father that I would quit my job at the editorial office. My father shouted loudly: “Do you know how hard it was for me to find this job for you? Don’t ever think about it again, okay?”.

But at that time, I only had one intention: to quit my job, and I don’t know why I was so determined. Since I was little, I always listened to my father, but this time I would do something different because if I continued like that, my life and my father’s would be more difficult.

The next day at work, I submitted my resignation. After that, I suffered a lot, my life was unstable, many times I was so desperate that I just wanted to commit suicide. I felt that life was really difficult, the world was so big, so crowded, why was I the poor one?

Those were extremely difficult days. My father was paralyzed, my family was in dire straits. I had no way back, I could only do my best to change the situation. I decided to borrow money and open a small convenience store. I also started writing again to earn more money. And my life has finally become much better.

This world is cruel, poverty always comes silently when you can’t think of it. But we can’t let ourselves bow our heads because no one is destined to be poor all their lives. As long as we work hard and have the will, we will definitely escape the torment of poverty.

With money, we don’t need to look at other people’s faces to live, we will have enough confidence to fight life.

Facing the harsh life, my classmate – Maozi – realized that he was really nothing. My life was a mess. Before the attack of illness, my friend could only hide in a corner, lamenting how unfair life was, pitying her fate.

After finishing junior high school, Maozi had to go to work, struggling all year round to make a living. Because of her low education level, she could only do manual labor with a meager salary. She really wanted to change her life, to overcome poverty.

But sometimes life is cruel when one day, she heard that her father was seriously ill. She rushed home that night. Her father was lying on the bed, his face pale, in pain and just wanted to live.
