Let's Talk About Poverty, Wealth, and What "Suffering" Really Means | Common Hood Podcast

Описание: In this episode of Common Hood, Simon P and Calvin dive into a raw, off-the-top conversation that started at the breakfast table and turned into a much deeper question:

What does real suffering actually look like — and why does it still exist in a world full of wealth?

From emotional late-night charity commercials to images of global poverty, homelessness in America, animal abuse, and the uncomfortable truth behind “helping hands,” this episode challenges how we see suffering, compassion, and responsibility. The conversation explores whether the world feels for or against those who are struggling — and what it means when help doesn’t seem to come.

They unpack:

1. The difference between hardship and true suffering

2. Poverty in America vs poverty around the world

3. How disturbing images shape our mindset

4. Wealth inequality and moral responsibility

5. Homelessness, mental health, and stigma

6. Capitalism, socialism, and the need for balance

7. Resetting our mindset in a world full of harsh visuals

This is not a scripted conversation. It’s real, reflective, and uncomfortable in the best way — the kind of talk that sticks with you long after the episode ends.

Welcome to Common Hood — where every neighborhood, sisterhood, and brotherhood is invited to the conversation.
