I mean, your altruism is shining through; but deciding to live like a bum, so you can appreciate your wealth is a bit of a stretch. But I can see how you arrived at your conclusions.
>"Once one has truly been poor, and been poor by choice, only then can one see wealth in perspective and know how to use it wisely. Only then can one see poverty and great wealth as equals - giving neither mastery over one's life or mind."
It has NOTHING to do with equality.
Rich people may not be happy with their lives, but they certainly don't worry where their next meal is coming from or if they have enough money to keep the lights on or their kids warm.
Your "One doesn't hate the rich or the poor.....one learns to understand both" is absurd.
It has nothing to do with judgement or perception, but everything to do with survival.
