do you feel the same way?

See I grew up dirt poor I was the paper bag prince :p so as it goes most of my friends where broke too. They all sit around hating on the rich and even mid class. When they ask me I always say the same thing, I don't view someone on how they grew up. I view them according to their personality. Like yeah they may not know our struggles, but we don't know theirs. Can't help what we are born into but we can mold what we grow into. It's nice cause now I'm not broke nor is my sisters, I even take care of my mama but for rich or for poorer I respect you if you respect me.

I was born into a middle class family and was taught to appreciate my class in society. But my parents firmly taught me to respect those less fortunate, and to have pity on those in the rich class... because they lead such a sheltered life that is void of the wonderful experiences of honest hard work and working with their hands and face to face helping of others when those around you need your help. Lucky for me that I grew up in an interracial and multi cultural neighborhood and had exposure to many different friends who also taught me how to be open and respectful in life..

@MegynK I feel sorry for their plight in life. Such a disadvantage to start from.. It is different than pity (for me)..

@MegynK I think you might be confusing comfort with happiness..
