The Rich Man and Poor Man

I was looking up some Scriptures the other day, and among them was a verse that really got me to thinking.

I will look up the verse later, but it was in Proverbs, I think, and said something to the effect of "The rich man answers rashly, but the poor man begs for mercy." Well, something like that.

I continue to think on it. Who am I, spiritually? Am I the rich man or the poor man? Well, I'm not a man, but you understand, I'm sure.

I think that when I am harsh with others, I must be thinking like the rich man, thinking I have need of nothing, and that I have a basis from which to speak. Is this true, though?

Am I displaying humility in such moments?
