What do you do when you meet people who are financially or economically in a better position than you? Let us all be honest here.. we sometimes compare ourselves to our peers and see if they are doing better than us. There are times where, whether it is good or not, we can tell they are doing better in life. Of course we do not know their struggles but we know that financially they are quite more comfortable than you.
In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest? When I encounter people who are financially ahead than me I just think that it will be me someday... That I will reach that level too where I would be able to buy whatever they can. So basically I try to make them my inspiration. Do you take inspiration from the rich people or do they make you feel worse?
Be happy for their success and work hard to be successful too. Even if you don't get to be rich, still be happy for your little wins. Do not fake your status just because you want people to believe you're doing well for yourself when you're not. You never can tell who would want to bless or lift you. By faking who you are, you might miss such an opportunity.In that case, should you try to fake your own situation as to not get pity or should you be honest?
