There are certain small things that we say and do which speak a lot about the person that we are. Consciously or unconsciously, voluntarily or involuntarily, knowingly or unknowingly, we do many things that people read as a sign to know about the kind of person that we are. These small things speak a lot about the way we think, the outlook that we possess, the kind of heart that we have and how good a person we are. One of these things that shows how concerned we are about other people is the way we treat people who are poor and are lower to us on the social strata. 

 

One great man once said if you really wish to know about a person and how he is, notice the way he treats people who are poorer than he is. If a person treats a man poorer to him with love, respect and care, he is truly a good man. However, if a man is not nice to the poor people and treats them with no love or respect, it only proves that the concerned person does not have any amount of humanity in him and is thus, not a good person. 

 

There are all kinds of people in the world – young, old, rich, poor, beautiful, ugly etc. The distinction between the people has been created by God and thus, should be respected by human beings. Some people are poor because they did not work hard enough to be able to reach a social high point in life. These people are responsible for their own condition. However, some people are poor because they are unfortunate and hence, they never got the opportunity that you or your likes got. Thus, these people do not deserve to be disrespected because they are not responsible for their condition. Instead, their misfortune, hard luck or situation is responsible for where they are. Be nice to poors because it shows that you are not proud or arrogant about what you have and instead, you are humble enough to realize what others, who are less fortunate, go through. Be nice to poor because you should understand their problems and do not add to them by mocking them. Be nice to poors because it shows that you value what you have by understanding the pain of those who do not possess your possessions. 

 

There are many small things that you can do to be nice to the poor people. One does not necessarily have to make life changing decisions or bring about revolutionary ideas. There are many small things that one can do to make a difference into the lives of the poor. Here are some of the ideas: 

 

1.Learn to give away. Most of us are blessed with the kind of money possessions that allow us to buy as many things as we want. Unfortunately, the poor are not blessed with that comfort. Forget the luxuries, sometimes; they are unable to afford even the most basic necessities of life. Thus, be nice to poors by donating them things as and when you can. The fact is that you can afford to give away and what you give away can be of big help to the poor people. Thus, the first way to be nice to poor people is by helping them with cash or kind. 

 

2.Be polite to poor people. Most human beings have a tendency of being rude and rash with people who are poorer to them. This is a part of human psychology that people like to dominate those who can. However, one should refrain themselves from doing so. Poor people are not in a position where they can stand up and complaint when or fight when someone richer than them exploits them or treats them bad. This is all the more a reason why you should be polite and nice to poor people. 

 

Be nice to poors because it will make you feel proud of the person that you are. When you do something wrong or bad, your inner conscience stays unsatisfied and unhappy. However, when you do the right thing, it makes you feel good about yourself. Always be nice to poor people. Do not they say, what goes around, comes around!
