Again, couldn't agree more. In fact, my scheduled post for tomorrow addresses this a bit obliquely. My experience while traveling the world non-stop for over 7 years: the most generous givers in the world are those with the LEAST to give. Which has led me to believe, the wealthy believe they are wealthy because they grasped and held on to wealth. Those few who are generous by nature, seem to have acquired wealth doing what they love, and their feeling comes more from gratitude than patronage.
