Lazarus Luke 16:19-31

I have often wondered, the rich man obviously recognized Lazarus and knew his name so he knew Lazarus in life.  What did the rich man think of Lazarus when he saw him?  Did he think that Lazarus should get a job or say to himself if Lazarus would just get off drugs or alcohol he would help him?

Jesus doesn't say why Lazarus was poor, he doesn't even say that the rich man was condemned because he didn't help Lazarus, he does say that later Matt 25 :31-46, he says only that the rich man enjoyed the good things in life.  Does merely being wealthy condem The rich man?  I think it is more complicated than that.  Abraham tells the rich man that his brothers have the law and Moses.  So following God is the key and if he had followed God, he would have helped Lazarus.
