> Habits that even after you remove poverty from your live, you still feel the the anxiety and triggers in your head.

In high school, I went to a friend's house for lunch. Their father served a mountain of food. My friend said, a bit exasperated, 'Dad - why do you always serve so much food?!'

Dad said, caringly but directly: 'Remember that I grew up in a refugee camp in Palestine. It is very important to me that nobody ever runs out of food to eat in my home.'

An eye-opening moment for a teenager.
