In a society where people help one another in monetary terms, there will be the tendency to spend rather than hold on to one’s wealth.

In such an environment, it is but natural that the giver becomes a recipient of society’s benefits in many ways. When such a society flourishes, its benefit will reach everyone—the giver as well as the taker. When anyone is arrogant to you, if you do not react to this but rather adopt the way of modesty, according to the law of nature, your status becomes elevated and that of the arrogant person is lowered. In this way, adopting the attitude of modesty becomes a source of success for the modest person.
