Who Is Poor?

Who Is Poor?

‘Poor’ in my personal dictionary is someone who always begs, asks, has no selfrespect, no selfconfidence, is not independent. The fruit vendor, the news paper boy, the housemaid, a blind man are independent honorable people though they might live in a hut or sleep in a shed.

“Ask, and God will grant you” something like that is written in the Bible, Yet they’re not lazy, spoiled, they’re dignified and don’t humble themselves with asking or begging.

So said Pak Arif.
