I always wonder why people who are wealthy or are economically stable find it hard to help the need people in the society.,why is it hard?

No matter how much people help the needy, there will always be people in need.

@oindo_edu Even so, some people take advantage of saying they're needy but not necessarily needy.

@oindo_edu Why should people not tired of doing so? If there was no charity / hand outs in society that people relied on, all the needy people would either A) Do better for themselves and earn enough to do well, or B) dissapear and stop pestering those who are doing ok for themselves.

Many rich people are not mean. Maybe you just met a mean rich man.

There are a lot of the so called needy people are actually slacking and awaiting for help instead of trying their best to live their life. The rich tend to donate to those that are truly needy and hence those undeserving ones will think that the rich are not helping them

One reason is because people who have become economically wealthy have earned their money through hard work, wise investments and an awful lot of effort then when they see people who have opportunities to change through hard work and smart thinking, throwing money at them is not going to help them to stop being needy. Best way to success is by achieving for yourself and not relying on other people.

@oindo_edu Why can't they pay their bills? Hospitals are free, medication is free. If they are in hospital they should have saved at least a months rent / bill money to cover this eventuality. Why should I pay someones rent due to their inability to open a savings account?

What about the sick in hospitals who can't afford to pay their bills. Shouldn't they be helped?

We must help the needy, we should give them alms and food,it is true that there will be always be people in need,and we cannot help all of them every time. People also don't trust others now days so they backoff.

I dont think of it that way. We will never know as they are not the type of people to broadcast the things they do.

These financially stabeld people migjt have sufficient money but they might also be facing difficult problems of their own. People in need should not only be help witj money but moreso with livelihood. If they help the needy people now, what will happen tomorrow when there is no one to give or provide.

The more people earn, the more they become mean and indifferent to others need

Sometimes the reason can be that they feel that their money is more important than anything else

When I had big money back in the 80's I was generous to some people in need but they in turn had to show me they were trying to help themselves as well.

Not all rich people are like that. You may not know it but these guys have also been abused by so called needy people.
