Nina –

To me it means those that are less fortunate that you. This is certainly relative.

I read once that there are three different relationships that one has. Those that you help that are less fortunate than you…that need something that you already have. The second are those that are your neighbors and those that you associate on a day to day basis. Then there is a third relationship, those that you strive to be like. Those are the ones that you reach out to in order to better yourself. Consequently, those are the same individuals that view you as the one who is in need.
