The wealthy poor

Mother Teresa once heard of a starving widow in a slum in Kolkata.
She took a plate of rice and curry and went to visit her.
Mother entered the little hut sat on the floor, and placed the food before the woman.
The widow uncovered the packet and saw what it was. She took the plate and went out.
When she returned Mother asked her where she had gone? "Just across the road.", she replied,"is a friend who has also not eaten for three days. I went to give her some of the food you brought."
THE POOR WOMEN FELT SHE HAD PLENTY AND COULD SHARE.
It is the state of our mind that decides whether we live in ABUNDANCE OR IN SCARCITY.

It is also seen generally that those who donot have or have scarce are the ones who are ready to share in greater abundance than the one who has in abundance.
