Influence on mental state: poverty

So I don’t think this is anything more than coincidence, but the two times I’ve had this set of depression it’s been as I’ve been exposed to poverty in depths I’d never seen it before.

While teaching, many of my students and players didn’t have sufficient nutrition or roofs (rooves?) over their heads.

In KC, nearly everyone I met was barely scraping by.

I don’t know what impact this had on me. But it’s interesting to not these two situations.
