The other
day morning, I was walking down from station to my office. Saw one beggar lying
down. He had held his head a little high at an awkward angle. A man just came
out of nearby store. He had a brand new pillow in his hand. He tore the plastic
cover open and put the pillow below the man’s neck. Chatted with him for a bit
holding his hand and then went on his own way.
That made me
smile, just such a thoughtful thing to do!
Remembered a random video watched the other day…
A man is walking down a street and sees one old man begging. He just
keeps walking by him and reaches home. He starts rummaging through his old
stuff and finds a weighing machine. He picks that and goes to the beggar. Puts
the weighing machine next to him, stands on the weighing machine and checks his
weight while smiling at the old man. He then takes one coin out of his wallet
and hands it over to the old man.
Next time he walks past, he sees few people checking their weights and
handing over coins to the old man.
Just like that the man has helped the old man stop being a beggar
and be an earner. The video had managed
to show a simple act of Humanity in the short time.
That day evening, I was walking back from office to the station.
My eyes wandered to the same place the beggar in the morning was lying around.
The beggar was nowhere to be seen. The brand new pillow was still there thrown
aside, discarded...
