What does Proverbs 14:21 mean?

If you look down on people who have less than you, you’re making a mistake. But if you care about those who are struggling, you’ll find real happiness. Proverbs 14:21 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse contrasts contempt for the poor with kindness. It’s not just about money, but about attitude—compassion brings joy, while disdain is wrong.)
