"La pobreza no fue creada por Dios. Somos nosotros quienes la hemos causado, tú y yo, a través de nuestro egoísmo."

Mother Teresa

Simplified Meaning:

The quote means that poverty is not something natural or given by a higher power; it's a problem made by people. Our selfish actions and attitudes are the real reasons some people don’t have enough money or resources to live well. For instance, if a boss pays very low wages to workers just to make more profit, those workers may struggle to afford basic needs like food and housing. This situation wasn't created by any divine force but by human actions and choices. If we want to fix the issue of poverty, we need to be more caring and fair in how we treat others. For example, by sharing resources, paying fair wages, and helping those in need, we can reduce poverty. It encourages each of us to look at our own behavior and think about how we can contribute to a fairer society.
