Poor are more greedy than rich people

As I was watching TV, which was covering a real life story based on human trafficking . A young girl was sold to a man for the sex work and the seller was a father of the girl. You must have read so many such stories that the a girls or a woman was sold to brothels in India by there own kins. Mostly very close, like the father or the brothers or husband. Husbands selling their fake wife is less sin for me as they purely marries the one just to make the money and the marry is purely fake at least in his mind. But Father and brothers who sell their won daughters and sisters to the pimps and at brothels have the blood relation and its more serious crime.

When the police wanted to return the girl to her father after she was rescued from the man for being young the girl refused to go with her father who had sold her to another man for mere a couple of thousands bucks. A nice relationship was broken, souring the heart of many kind people.

Couple of years ago a news surfaced in India. A front row beggar of a very renowned temple was in a tug of war with her daughter regarding the money matter. Her daughter refused to pay the money she took from her - Rs 5 lakh - which she had borrowed from her mother. The mother went to court to settle the deal. It created the nationwide uproar over the issue. The daughter said, she is my mother and should help me when I am in need; including my monetary need.


Kind people, good hearted people and rich people know that the poor are more greedy than rich people. In India people break the legs of their own child, so that they could make more money in begging. In North America young people sells drugs to their own family members and the size of family is shrinking fast and the crime and death rate is so high due to their involvement in the drug dealings. They die so young also. Still the working class people always lament that the rich do suck their blood, when all he is doing is creating the job opportunities for them.

In his book Daring to live on the edge, Loren Cunningham writes, about a missionary friend of him, who served in the inner city of US, where he has to preach derelict and the slum dwellers. They never give a dime to anyone in their whole life. Robert Kiyosaki writes in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, poor people never ever loose a dime [ he meant in investment opportunities ] and then they never ever make money in their life also.

You must have heard a story, where a man is sitting in front of a stove with handful of woods in his arms, during the cold winter and telling the stove; if you give me fire, then I will put woods inside you. This is very touching story of a need and the needy.
