There is no shame for one to declare his poverty, Unless he is doing nothing to escape from it, But There is much shame for one to be proud of his riches, Especially if they are not the result of his work! © Demetrios Trifiatis 03 March 2023

So true Demetrios, and there are many like that who have never done an honest days work in their lives yet have vast wealth. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Tom

Yes, there are too many of those people. How come they managed to accumulate billions in just a few years and then they show off their wealth to the hungry and needy? Be blessed .
