In discussing certain gifts that are given to the Kohen, the Torah says quite cryptically, ואיש את קדשי לו יהיו, a man's holies shall be his, איש אשר יתן לכהן לו יהיה, and what a man gives to the Kohen, it shall be his. 
Rashi explains the words, “a man's holies shall be his” to mean that if one doesn't give the Kohen what's due him, a tenth, then what would be the tithes will be his: his fields will only produce a tenth of what they normally would. The end of the posuk promises that one who does give the gifts to the Kohen, לו יהיה , he shall have, much wealth. 

Reb Leib the סבא משפולה used to give tremendous amounts of Tzedaka; everything he received, he immediately gave away to the poor. It was said about him that he didn't even check out the people he gave to, rather he just helped everyone. He even went so far as to help out known thieves when they came to him for help! That didn't sit well with the townspeople, though, & one day they approached him & asked how is it that the rabbi is helping out thieves?!?  He answered that they shouldn’t worry; it’s not so bad, for sometimes the gates of mercy in heaven are locked & I send the thieves to go break open the locks! 

Cute story, but what did he mean? What was he trying to tell the people? 

At the time when רב יום טוב ליפן הלר  was Rav of Krakow, there was a very wealthy man in town who refused to give any charity to the poor of the town. So much so, he was nicknamed Shimon the miser.  ‎There were two people in charge of distributing charity & every Friday they would hand out nice sums of money to all those that needed. 

Time passed & Shimon the miser passed away. In order to show their disapproval  of him, they buried him in a very degrading spot at the edge of the cemetery next to the fence. 

A few days later, one by one the poor of the town knocked on the rabbi's door complaining that the people distributing the charity were no longer taking care of them appropriately & were giving them much less than usual. The rabbi called in these two men, the Baalei Tzedaka, to ask what was going on. Did they think the poor suddenly became rich so that they don't need help?    

‎Their answer otally shocked the rabbi. They said that as long as Shimon Hatzadik was alive, we had no shortage of money. He would come every week and give us all the money we needed for the poor people. Now that he's gone, there's no more money. When the rav heard that all the money came from Shimon the miser, who performed the mitzva of tzedaka on the highest level, that of giving without anyone knowing or receiving even the slightest recognition in this world, he said, “I want to be buried next to Shimon Hatzadik”. 

‎Perhaps what the סבא משפולה was trying to tell the people was, “don't be so quick to judge; the only reason you think that these people aren't deserving of help is that you don't know the whole story. The only one who can judge is Hashem; the rest of us just have to be kind & non-judgmental & try to help everyone.
We as a society tend to judge people on very superficial things without looking at the big picture. We evaluate people based on their outward appearance - what we think people should look like - instead of their essence, the inside which we have no way of knowing. Let's take this opportunity to take a step back & not judge people on a first impression; rather believe that everyone is good & leave the judging to Hashem!‎
