Would I rather be poor but help people, or be beyond rich but hurt people? I would rather be poor but help people because most people in today’s society would most likely pick the “be rich and hurt people’ because they really do not care about anyone but themselves. But when you find those kind people who have loving hearts that would rather be poor and help, have most likely been through rough things or bad environments or bad home lives. The people who would rather be rich have probably always had it good or they just didn’t understand at the time what was going on. But i’d rather be poor and proud of myself for helping others.
