why is it that always a gentle and a humble person has to pay for everything for that he has never done.?

Unfortunately the actions of a few effect us all.  For instance the pre pay at a gas station.  I asked one attendant why and she told me bacause of the drive offs.  That's just one example.

This is personal finance category.\n\nEven beggars have some sort of toil.\n\nEven asking one's parents or relatives for money or support is a sort of toil.\n\n\nFind whatever it is you love to do and then do it with all of your heart and soul.  If you do it well enough, the rewards will follow your pursuits.  \n\n\nNamaste.

While some don't, many people do offer or provide help to the extent of their abilities or resources.\n\nSometimes, though, when someone offers help and the intended recipient doesn't think it is "enough" (has happened), the giver becomes a bit jaded. \n\nKeep in mind that the person down on his luck may be asking help of someone who is just barely scraping by themselves. Each situation is unique.

yes.  It is not the amount of money that is spent, but the efforts that the guy makes.  It shows he respects you, and that he is a little old fashioned, maybe not just after one thing.  It's also nice to be courted.

Because they know they can get away with it.  There are some people in this world who unfortunately are bumbs and will take advantage of any act of kindness.  I believe that is why the people are like they are, tough and cold.  we have a neighbor who has lived on our land for three years now and has paid exactly 70.00 to us.  Pretty cheap rent don't you think?  Makes me sick.  I don't mean to be rude to him but he runs on our light bill which is running us abotu 650.00 a month.  It was our decision at the time to let him because he was down ond out, but I think htree years is ong enough.  He should start paying something now.

Look, I know you have a sh*tty job that doesn't pay you sh*t but there are some pretty sh*itty people in this world that appreciates all the sh*t you go through to make their sh*tting experience a clean one, just try not to take to much sh*t because you will end up flushing your life down the drain!!!!!!!!!!

No, because nothing was ever "granted" to me.  I have had to work jobs that made me miserable just to get by at times.  Sure, a lot of Americans did grow up in rich families and never had to work for anything, but a lot more do have to work for what they have.

I have wealthy relatives who've told me they love me but haven't supported me when I've really needed them most. I haven't approached them and asked for their help, but they've known I was having it rough and could have helped on their own, and didn't ...\n\nThere are some generous souls and I'm one of them. I'm not rich, have no degree and have had to struggle - sometimes terribly - to build what I have but now have a net worth of about $600,000 and make well over $100,000/year ... As far as I'm concerned, money's just another tool and if a friend of mine needs my help in any way, including financially, I'll help them and not expect repayment.\n\nI've done that several times. I'm a good friend, in part because I know how it is to need and go without. I don't trust or expect that anyone will ever help me, but I'm always willing to help others.\n\nBe aware, though, that most of those offering help will want something in return whether they say-so or not, and that sometimes it'll be your soul.\n\nFighting it out and going it alone is almost always best. You know you can trust yourself ...\n\nWrite me if you wish: laippletm@yahoo.com

It is seeing beyond your own world, to the world of others who may be in need of your help.  It is the unselfish act of giving without asking for anything in return.  The importance of being generous is  like the ripple in a pond, when you have thrown in a stone...it will be played forward to others and make the world better for all.\n\nQuote:      “What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.” ~ Albert Pike\n“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” ~ Winston Churchill \n “Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.” ~Kahlil Gibran

Yes as long as he stays humble and true.  He is just a person like you or I.. only he has a mother load of cash to help him do what he wants.  I think anyone is capable of walking that path.

I always thought guys had to pay. I guess I'm really old fashioned.

He doesn't sound like an ass, just sounds a bit cautious.  If you truly are interested and can financially afford it, why don't you offer to pay for half of the ticket and he pay for the other half?

wow just think you get online and you are down in the dunps and you ask for some encouragement and people you do not know offer it to you never asking for anything in return .i think that right there is enough encouragment for anyone to realise that there is always good outthere.remember you are never alone in this world ,there are people out there who care for others no matter what.you are proof of that if people didnt care they wouldnt answer.i have no words to say to you to help you the reason being i dont know what the problem is so as to give you appropriate encouragement .but just think in the fact that there are people who care about others  everywhere and to have one touch your life is a great and wonderful thing and keep it going touch someone elses life with the same and maybe we can get it out to everybody out there who needs a comforting word and gentle embrace .

You "let" him work to pay for it.  He has to understand the consequences of his actions.  Is not punishment, its consequence what teach us anything.

you have a child to think of as well as your self no by no means give him nothing like that he really needs to grow up and act like a man in my opion he needs to be ashamed to even ask you for money ?

The common conception is that stingy people are that way because they have no money - because they have to be.  Some of the cheapest people you'll ever meet are rich folks though so in reality it can go either way.  At first it doesn't seem to make sense that a rich person would be stingy but then you have to figure there's a reason they are rich in the first place.  They probably didn't get there by being casual about money.

Because you can't exchange love for goods.\n\nFace it. We all need goods to survive. Long time ago, we used to exchange goods for goods. Now we exchange money for goods, so everyone needs to get money to get goods.\n\nDon't frown on people that don't *give* freely. We all work hard to provide for ourselves and our loved ones. The world is simply too big and the goods to scarce for people to just start *giving* out of the blue. Factor in there that there are many bad people out there too.\n\nIf you are desperate need of economic aid, there are many foundations out there that can give you and your family a hand. You also gotta try to get yourself outta the gutter... try to learn some skills and qualify for a job and work it up from there. You might say it's hard... but what's easy in this world?
