The poor man's stomach, meanwhile, was churning. He realized that that couldn't be the case, since he was, after all, a good person. But he would only invite someone for a meal if the matter was brought to his attention. If not, however, the thought that someone else was hungry would never even occur to him. Such people are many and numerous.
Youth is valuable for humility.
The youth is more capable of learning, because he is not yet arrogant. This is a foundation of humanity, for Mankind's existence requires a youth which learns to live properly by hearkening to the counsel of older men. When the youth is so pampered that they become arrogant, they are thereby rendered incapable of being counseled, with sorrowful consequences to themselves and society. All misfortunes that befell Israel can be remedied by rebuilding a new generation. But when the youth become arrogant, then all is lost.
