Is it a shame, being rich in a poor country?
I am a teacher. I visit homes to teach children of rich people. I see their luxury life and feel sorry for them because they should be poor in heart to be that much rich in a poor country like this.

I actually love rich people. This old argument where their sincerity is in doubt is simply a ‘poor’ judgment call. Poor people perpetuate more misery by keep making babies with scarce resources at their disposal and then look for ways to criticize those who have worked hard, achieved something in life, kept life in control, and stayed successful. They are not poor at heart but rather these same rich people employ others, do major spending, pay higher taxes, make economy keep aloft, donate in charities, and make up for mistakes the so called rich at heart and silly in mind poor people make. Do not feel sorry for them. They are very well.

Presti,recently monthly salary of a famous company owner and charity worker in my country was revealed. It was Rs 4,500,000(US$ 38,461)while the normal salary of a laborer is Rs6,000 (US 51). See the big difference. If company owners think people who work in their company also should have a good life, no need to think on charity works.

My question to you is, do you teach the children of the rich exclusively? If so, is it perhaps that only they can afford to pay you the hourly rate you expect to receive ? Or do you also teach the children of poor people or can they not afford your hourly fees? At any rate, as a teacher I'm certain you could offer free classes to the families of those who are less affluent and thereby help the poor people of your country.

Poor people are often far better people than the rich, for the reason that the rich can often afford not to be civilized. If their decadently rich whilst their fellow countrymen starve, then it's not a shame, it is a travesty, and it's not pity they need, only the gallows.

He should be called TrueRed1986. What are you, a fully paid member of the Communist party of some kind of hangover from the French Revolution ? Most of the places people dont like to walk through are deprived areas, they are not occupied by decadently rich but by anti social thugs.
