Honestly IME it's support others. I've found they're more likely to share and donate things than people who can afford to do way more
I said something like this in an earlier thread with a similar question. Someone responded to me that for the rich, everything is transactional. I think there's a lot of truth in that statement, and it's because the rich can afford to act like this. If you're not rich, you will have to depend on others to help you out at some times.
My favorite author agrees and so do I.
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need - go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones.
