what george eliot says the rich don't know.

"One must be poor to know the luxury of giving."
-George Eliot

In all honesty, I don't agree with this quote. Sure, those who suffer financially are more aware of how even the smallest donation is embraced, much more so than the folks who are stable. On the other hand, take a look at the rich folks who donate so generously to charities. Obviously they enjoy the feeling they receive through their charity work. I can't say for certain that they know the "luxury" of giving, since I'm not rich or anything, but I think it's safe to assume it's a feeling somewhat similar. although financial situations do have an effect on personality, i'm not so sure it's directly related to the differences of selfishness and generosity. maybe i'm wrong.
