I didn't say needy people are good, I asked for your definition of good. Which you failed to provide.
People end up in need for a wide variety of reasons. There is no shame in asking for help, nor does that make you a good or bad person. In fact, as a ratio of their income, poor people donate more to charities than middle or upper class people. Why? Because they can empathise with the recipients, as they may have been in the same situation themselves in the past.
Let me give you an example of needy: hard working family, never been in trouble, own the house they live in, help out with charities and school events. Good people and rolemodels. Their kid gets really sick, and the family goes bankrupt paying medical bills and lose their house. The family now replies on support from family, friends and the government. - Are they no longer good because they are now needy?
