Living in poverty is not a choice that most poor people want. If they were given a choice, they would never choose a life of limited resources. Not everyone has luck in life, they (rich people) are called rich because of the existence of poor people, this comparison can change a person's social status.
I prefer generous rich people who always devote their thoughts, energy and resources to help poor people, generous rich people will create peace and harmony amidst differences in social status.
I think generosity is always more of a thing of the mind instead of the pocket. I've encountered situations were people with very meagre resources have taken bold steps towards rewarding people and sharing the little he possess whereas I've also seen so called rich people who are yet looking for how they can take the little at your disposal instead of showing compassion and generosity to people of less privileged.
Generosity is generally a characteristic of a people which comes directly from the abundance of the heart, hence the reason why it is not a respecter of the amount of money the person possesses at such, it is crucial for us as people to continue to practice generosity in the best form we can as it can help increase your wealth and earn more rewards in the worlds.
