Premise 1:
Generosity while possessing great wealth is easy.
Premise 2:
Generosity and giving when you have little is difficult.
Conclusion:
If you are financially poor, but want to give, give those ephemeral things which everyone has an abundance of: Love, Time, Compassion, Help, give of yourself, rather than material wealth.
But if you don't have financial or spiritual wealth to give, or just don't want to give what little you have, no worries. Givers can't be Givers without Takers, right?
Yin and Yang.
It's a beautiful thing when you hear about a poor person giving generously of what little they possess. But "the fact that people are poor or discriminated against doesn't necessarily endow them with any special qualities of justice, nobility, charity or compassion." Or does it? I will have to think more about this.
