People who have less give more

• People who have less give more.
• Low social class participants were more generous and believed they should give more of their annual income to charity. 
• They were also more likely to trust strangers and showed more helping behavior towards someone in distress. Contrarily, higher social class individuals are more unethical. They are more likely to take things from others, lie, and cheat.
• They are more compassionate and more sensitive to the need of others.
• Their way of thinking as a “contextualist tendency” marked by an external focus on what is going on in their environment and with other people. 
• Those who have more tend to be self-centered with solipsistic tendencies that are concentrated on their own internal states, goals, motivations, and emotions.
• Those who have less are focused on the present whereas those who have more are future-oriented to a greater extent.
• Having money and high social status is certainly a good thing in many respects. Money provides comfort and security, and a lack of it can produce real hardships. But once our basic needs and even some comforts are met, isn’t there value in experiencing compassion for others and acting on impulse? Isn’t there some benefit to being sensitive to the distress of others, and behaving like the old woman in the Indian village at least once in a while?
• Everyone of us can learn valuable lessons from the generosity of the poor.
