What Is Your Index

Abigail Van Buren once said, "The best index in a person's character is (a)how he treat's people who can't do him any good, and (b)how he treats people who can't fight back." I believe Mrs. Van Buren is trying to say that a person's character shows how he will treat a person. Whenever we see a homeless person on the street, we ignore their lametations, but those with a strong character, give them charity and information about nearby shelters. How do we treat people who can't fight back? Most of us would continue to abuse and take advantage og them but the tiny percentaghe that doesn't, helps them and even says sorry, evemnnthough they my not have done anything to them. So, you can see thar mrs. Van Buren judged a person by how he treats a person who is useless to hi a nd by the way he may treat the vulnerability of annother person.
