Bolivia remains the poorest country in South America after the Guyanas, in part, due to high corruption levels; furthermore, critics often point out the imperialist role of foreign powers in the country since the "discovery of America". The country is rich, however, in natural resources, and has been called a "donkey sitting on a gold mine" because of this. The Government of Bolivia remains heavily dependent on foreign assistance to finance development projects.

Soul
Verities regarding Man's ultimate nature, is often contrasted with the temporal or the worldly. Due to the broad scope and personal nature of spirituality, however, one can perhaps better understand it by focussing on key concepts that arise when people describe what spirituality means to them. An important distinction exists between spirituality in religion and spirituality as opposed to religion. People of a more New-Age disposition tend to regard spirituality not as religion per se, but as the active and vital connection to a force, spirit, or sense of the deep self.
