People maketh the experiences.
Today on my way to work, I saw humanity. Amongst the existence of naysayers and cynics, I saw two man buying food for a needy man who was gesturing that he was hungry and had no money for food. The two man, signalled the man to go ahead and purchase food on their account.
I have been stopped by a man with a urine pouch asking for money for his medical bills, a middle age man asking for money to buy food and an old man who needed coins to fund his transport back home. I passed some money in the first and last instance. In the second, I walked away.
After the first and third instances took place, I shared it with friends and family who mentioned that they too had donated to a man with a urine pouch who needed cash to pay for his medical bills and how that same man was seen shopping away on another day.
Friends had mentioned how it has become a trend for the old to go around asking for coins to collect just enough to gamble it away.
After hearing these recounts, I met the mid aged man, who I walked away from.
However, it felt good to have seen the two man who did buy the needy man food. Humanity is still alive.
Inspired and shared from FB.
