The lack there of

It is often said, poor people are the most generous, or ugly girls are the most pleasant and well mannered. Two schools of thoughts on this.
One is, people make up for what they lack. Something to balance the insecurities. So poor people give in order to receive and ugly girls are only nice because it hard to get attention anyway, so why be arrogant? It seems to me people in this school believe the worst in people.
Second school believe humans are at their best when removed from material things. So poor people are not attached to their possessions and they feel other needy people's pain so they give. Also women are beautiful inside (whatever that means) when we focus on them as a person and not their physical beauty. Be that as it may, I'm happiest when I'm giving, pretty girls are conceited, "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24. And beauty is a curse... When its all said and done, this too is chasing after the wind and vexation of the spirit.
