141(1)Having Given,One Despises
"Bhikkhus,there are these five kinds of persons found in the world.
What five?
The one who gives and then despises;the one who despises as a result of living together;the one gullible for gossip;the capricious one;and the one who is dull and stupid.
(1)"And how is a person one who gives and then despises?
Here,one person gives another a robe,almsfood,lodging,and medicines and provisions for the sick.
It occurs to him:
I give;
he receives.'
Having given to him,he despises him.
It is in this way that a person is one who gives and then despises.
(2)"And how does a person despise as a result of living together?
[165]Here,one person lives together with another for two or three years.
He then despises the other because they have lived together.
It is in this way that a person despises as a result of living together.
(3)"And how is a person gullible for gossip?
Here,when praise or dispraise is being spoken about another person,he readily believes it.
It is in this way that a person is gullible for gossip.
(4)"And how is a person capricious?
Here,a person's faith,devotion,affection,and confidence are fickle.
It is in this way that a person is capricious.
(5)"And how is a person dull and stupid?
Here,a person does not know which qualities are wholesome and which unwholesome,which qualities are blameworthy and which blameless,which qualities are inferior and which superior;he does not know dark and bright qualities along with their counterparts.
It is in this way that a person is dull and stupid:
"These,bhikkhus,are the five kinds of persons found in the
world."
