in one mass with the idle, selfish, and ofttimes
dishonest, rich.
There are millionaires who came by their wealth
through criminal methods.
There are capitalists who grind the poor and wrong
their fellow men. But it is well to remember that
there are also honest, noble, unselfish people with fortunes, and capitalists who are a blessing to the world,
to the laboring classes and to humanity.
No more unjust and absurd idea ever existed than
that mistaken impression of the very poor that all rich
or even comfortable people are their enemies and
their despoilers.
Equally erroneous is the idea that only the poor
have troubles, cares or hardships.
There are wealthy people who work fourteen
hours a day with their brains and hands, trying to do
good to humanity.
There are men who have become the possessors
of large fortunes through honest industry and perseverance, and who are bowed to the earth by the
cares and responsibilities of life, and who lie awake
nights while poorer men sleep, trying to decide just
what is the kindest, wisest and most unselfish course
of action to pursue.
To be the possessor of a comfortable sum of money
does not mean to be dishonest or unkind, any more
than poverty means honesty and unselfishness.
There are all kinds of people in both classes.
However poor you are, try at least to be just and fair in your estimate of others.
Justice is one of the pillars in character building.
Make yourself everything that is honest, noble, just
and deserving, as you climb the mountain of life, and
be careful before you condemn your fellow men.
