One great reason why the rich in general have so little sympathy for the poor is because they so seldom visit them. Hence it is that, according to the common observation, one part of the world does not know what the other suffers. Other comments included, Being poor in the midst of wealth affects self-image. We have resources among us that we may overlook. We need to assess those resources and develop concrete ways in which we can utilize them.
Poverty can be relative.
There are different levels. We need to find commonality to reach out to others. As difficult as it is to experience poverty, as Christ s body we can still make it bearable through God. It is up to us to share God s grace with others. The issue is that we must understand all human beings.
