How can a person have pride when he demands more from the very neighbor that temporarily fed and clothed him?

a person who does that has no pride and is the type of person who will only ever use people. i'd suggest telling him you are no longer able to afford helping him. and you should contact the authorities if he is an illegal.

Envy, and simple because most people evaluate their personal value based on material possession. \n\nWe need to get our priorities right!

Approach it with what is in your hart. Pray about the blessing,  that God used you to supply food to the needy. Praise God for supplying the food that you helped hand out. Thank God for allowing you to experience the good works in his name. Thank God for using you for the greater cause for Christ on earth. Being a servant of God some times gives us a better understanding of God in our lives.

Why are you judging others on what they are wearing?  God does love them, and probably doesn't like how they dress - but what is that to you?  God tells us to love unconditionaly our neighbour as ourselves, and that means looking past the outer into their inner being.  It's not up to you to become the morality police, it's your job to stand for what you believe in, and influence others by your actions, not words.

Sounds like he is "too nice" and cannot bring himself to let anyone down. Time to sit down with him and discuss "Priorities". He may not "want" to be so loyal to these people, he may feel he is "obliged" to. In reality he is not obliged to be loyal to anyone.

Why don't we all put our money where our mouth is?? \n\nHow easy is it to say, "god, please bless those less fortunate than I, so I don't have to part with my fortune."???\n\nGod does not give blessings so that you can ask him to give blessings to your neighbor.  He gives blessings so that you can give to your neighbor knowing that he will come through for you even if you don't have a bundle of money and stuff stored away.

It's natural to feel jealous in a case like you described.....\n\nThink about the reason(s) you refused him in the first place. In time you'll get over it.\n\nBut it sounds like the guy is just looking to have himself a quick meal.....if U know what I mean.

Respecting others will earn respect for you in their eyes. People don't realize they need to put down their pride & understand that people are people, no one is better than anyone else!

Why not just give him the $5? Why do you feel the need to humiliate someone? You better hope you're not in his shoes some day.

The Law is a funny thing. He actually could.\nBut he really should have some Pride and Self Respect.\nWhy cant he be content with the one he has trickling in ?\n\nIt seems these days, all Shame has just gone out the the Window.

Just leave them alone. People like these,dont have many friends becos of their ego. They will realise that it is not wise being proud when they need help and noone cares as the saying goes,' Pride comes before a fall'.So be humble is a better policy and do adopt it.

You can feel it just in you! People just tell you things cause they are jealous. Just follow what you want. :) HE IS JUST TO SCARED TO ADMIT IT.

Yes i am a firm believer in you reap what you sow.If a person treats another person in that kind of fashion with a maliceful heart,they will reap that harvest.It might be tomorrow,then again it might be 10 years from now,but that person will.However,you don't wish it upon them,then you would be in the same range as that person.Another thing,people that treat others like that,don't deserve to have you,so go and hold your head up high and move on,don't let it bring you down,even though this can and is hurtful and heartbreaking,you be strong,but most of all,be grateful that the truth is out and you did not bring this fault to your life.Best of wished to you!

One can only be proud of the beauty in life and try to live a good\nlife never trying to be proud personally but serving and humble.

Sometimes when you are always the person that has to give an give and give and never gets anything back directly, it's almost just a needy way of being with someone and was almost a waste of time. If you helped someone out and even if it didn't work and you two still are friends, well I'd say congratulations. One of the few that had to give everything and still felt like they won in the end. That's pretty mature really.
