Being Real

Four from our little church recently went to the home of some members who would probably be classified as poor. They were having a neighborhood cookout - in a "poor" neighborhood. About 20 hungry people showed up, and we had a great time.

Afterward, the youngest of us - a recent college graduate - remarked that he had noticed that poor people are open and honest. That was refreshing - and biblical. That sparked a conversation about middle class and rich class people.

Most middle class people talk about each other, we concluded. The difficulty of climbing out of the middle class is that everyone else in the class is working hard to pull each other down in their own effort to climb up.

Most rich class people talk about business, philosophy, politics, and society subjects. Hmmmm. Interesting.

What do you think about our observations?
