Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That is one of the bitter curses of poverty; it leaves no right to be generous.
Very few people can afford to be poor.
The only truly affluent are those who do not want more than they have.
These days there is a lot of poverty in the world, and that's a scandal when we have so many riches and resources to give to everyone. We all have to think about how we can become a little poorer.
The fact is that, except for those very few whose wealth is overwhelmingly or entirely inherited, the more affluent have usually worked harder than the less affluent.
In real terms, there is a greater disparity of earnings between the very rich and the very poor.
Poverty is not just about income: it's about aspiration. It's not just about giving people a couple of extra pounds a week, welcome though that is.
Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more.
Generous people can become more generous as they become richer, giving away vast fortunes to worthwhile causes as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are doing.
A rich man can afford to be generous to many.
