Are there people who make up their minds to remain poor?

[QUOTE="cmoneyspinner, post: 258485, member: 25593"] When one of my brothers lost his home because of a hurricane, he showed up at my other brother's house with his wife and kids. Fortunately, my other brother took them in, so they did not have to live on the streets. We have an awful homeless problem here in Austin, Texas USA. I don't think those people made up their minds to be poor and homeless. Things happen to people! A lot of the people don't have someone they can turn to help them get back on their feet. This is my perspective based on my religious beliefs. Jesus said [I]“The poor you will always with you.”[/I] When you think about it … no matter where you live or travel to in this world, there will always be poor people. Since that's a “given”, Jesus also taught His disciples to practice charity and help the poor. I think, we should first extend charity to those we can clearly SEE are in need and not judge or try to judge if they intended to be poor. However, I also think that, after a while, you can determine when a person has no intention of working to support themselves, and is simply taking advantage of your generosity. Christian teachings also state [I]“If a man don't work, neither should he eat.”[/I] That means if [I]you[/I] have it within [I]your[/I] power to work for [I]yoursel[/I]f, then that's what you should do; and not rely on others for their charity. You're ABLE, so do what you're able to do! LIFE is not really about being rich or poor. Riches are not guaranteed. People can be rich one day and broke the next day! A person just needs to know how to take care of themselves so they don't starve, so they have a roof over their head, and they have clothes on their back. If you are content to have what you need and additional “luxuries” are not important in your life, [I]who says that you're poor?[/I] As far as you're concerned, you're rich enough! :) [/QUOTE]
