Investing in people, or investing in money?

It seems like lately I've been against helping people out when they need it. I'm against donations; I almost feel like I have a hatred for humanity. But, then, I was listening to some music, and it started me thinking. I had a chat with my dad, and it made me think more. So, the question is basically pretty simple.

Is it more important/better for you to invest in money, or scheme ways to get as much money as you can, even if it means overlooking people, or even hurting people, or should you try to help people instead, even if it means a financial hit? Is it more important to invest in people, or to invest in money?
