for you, being poor was not as pleasant as being non-poor.

That is your experience.

It may not be the universal experience.

I think the difference between you and me is that I don't assume that other people ought to believe in the same answers to life that I have found good for me.

In the year 1975 I made less than a total of $500 for the year. It was one of the most pleasant years of my life. Partly because I did not have want of economic or material resources beyond the functions of my existence at the time. There have been other years where I made a substantial income and was quite unhappy that resources were stretched or unavailabe.
