My t is just a regular person, I have no reason to disrespect her. I don’t put her on pedestal though.

I don’t put any particular weight on how many hardships people had because it’s honestly no one’s business. I had ton of hardships in life but I don’t walk around advertising it. Whatever I have financially speaking is earned by me and I don’t feel guilty. My husband has a disability, which makes every day at work rather difficult and he came from poverty in the middle of nowhere but he obtained education and has a good career. It would be ridiculous for someone to say “oh look at this guy and his nice car, he can’t relate to us poor folk”.

But what if someone really never had hardships and is in good health and was born into money. Do they not deserve respect? Must one suffer to be a good human being? I don’t subscribe to this notion. I also don’t equate poverty with goodness and wealth with evil.
