Dear Agony Aunt... Life lessons

[Fang]

If this is so, I wonder why so many people, more than 80% of the people in the world, choose a life of poverty.

What other choice is there? There are only so many spots..

There is also the issue of only being able to choose when to incarnate after progressing past the mid subdensity of the 3rd density. So as much as we all like to think everyone chose to be in their current situation it's not actually true.
