The Generous and the Stingy

An observation of facts about generous and stingy people.

The Generous and the Stingy

 

The generous gives precious stones

When their price is climbing

The observer smiles of joy

Seeing such an event passing

The stingy will not offer water

To the thirsty who is dying.

Take the people as they are

May they be close to you or far

Sad when the richest of the rich don't even give the poor a second glance--unless they're children or from another nation when there are poor/starving/suffering people HERE in America. That's what irks me the most. Help our OWN people FIRST and NOT just the children or the illegals!!

Now that I've stepped off my soapbox, I feel a lot better now!

Or they give disability to people who abuse the system or don't NEED to be on it while people (like myself who are TRULY disabled) CAN'T get it without a fight. Am going through this now; have tried twice, been denied. ("Not disabled enough". Yeah, RICHT. I AM disabled enough; why else would I be going through what I've gone through? I canNOT work again!!~ How disabled do I HAVE to be before I get my SSDI???? It's LUDICROUS!!!!)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. >:(

It is all about choices, to be generous all the time or not at all, those that do, never will be stabbed by sharp words in their backs.

I salute You, Poet.

Usually the most generous are those who can least afford it--shows you how far society has decended. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Excellent observation, Emile.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
