The spoilled child is "spoilled", meaning he easily has what he
wants. When problems in life are encountered, the support group -
family, friends, etc. is either usually also spoilled, or at least
of the same economic class, that being "rich" or whatever.
The poor child, on the other hand, when faced with difficult life
situations, does not have the answers and solutions so easy. For
the solution, the poor individual has to be creative, has to use
strategy, and definitely learns a greater appreciation of
friendship, etc. when he is given help.
And I stand by the television statement. Obviously, I am not
talking about the opportunity to travel to far and distant lands or
whatever you may be hinting at.
What I am talking about is that the poor man knows the inside of a
restraunt kitchen, the poor man can know places in the "inner city"
that the rich man would never go into.
The poor guy and the rich guy can both be only about money-chasing.
But the poor man will be the one who can change his status, and
know both worlds. The poor man will be be the one more quick to
feel when something is amiss, or more quick to recognize depth to a
situation.
