Here is a man. He is in his seventies. Very simple, polite and honest to the core. He was a stammerer when he was in middle school. Even in college he was a stammerer.
The speech defect cost him a lot. He could not clear any interview and could not have a job. Nor could he ever have a business.
His friends respect him, but he couldn't earn the same respect from his own family. Even those who are much younger to him doesn't pay him due respect.
They don't respect him just because he does not earn and has never earned money because of stammering. On the contrary, the members of his own family who are arrogant, cheaters and characterless are respected
What do you think about such a man?? Should he not be be respected only because he doesn't have money??

Thank you, my friend. I'm sorry to know your family doesn't love you. What do you do?? Don't you have a source of income??
My suggestion is, try to find a job in your own country. It would be difficult for you to have a source of income in a foreign country.

@Shivram59 I work on a construction project. If I work in my own area, it won't be enough for me and my family's needs.

@Akutza90 I understand, my friend. But in other countries you will have to face more problems. They are strangers. Are you a man or a woman??

Thank you. I often think if a person of noble character doesn't deserve respect if he doesn't have money. Is money everything??
I often meet him and we talk. He never shares his pain with me or others.
