A good man will share his food with the hungry,
A great man will share his wealth with the needy
But the Rich man? He gives naught but the toil of others to be the richest corpse in the graveyard. Yet this is the man whom we applaud and give title and accolades.

Very thought provoking write sir, thank you for sharing.
