My prejudice

Sometimes I think I'm prejudiced against the rich. Seriously. I see people with tons of money and I get so frustrated with them. I ruthlessly judge them, assuming they just aren't giving enough or that they don't care about the poor.

But I came to a realization yesterday that those are pretty flawed thoughts. I don't really want everyone to be poor. I just want everyone to CARE about the poor. Making the rich live like paupers doesn't necessarily solve the problem of poverty.

That said, I do think the rich need to care more about the poor. I especially believe that Christians have a responsibility to take care of them (see my last post). It wouldn't hurt any of us to live with a little less so that others could have more.
