Many will seek the favor of a generous man,I've definitely seen this in my own life, from both sides. Growing up, I had friends whose families were both better off and worse off than we were. I know that the ones who were better off, I was more eager to go with them, whereas I tended to want the ones who were worse off to come to my place more often. However, I'd like to think I was aware of this, and did my best to avoid exploiting the better-off's generosity.
And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.
Today, I see this with some of the people I've helped out. They seem to think we're friends, when the only connection between us is what I can do for them. If I were unable to help them, I'd probably never hear from any of them again.
