Today i manage to squeeze some time to go the mall - to finally get that amazing dress. A (little - very subjective) something to lift me up from my grey grey days.
After that, i was rushing for time to go home, it has been raining the whole day. It was wet,cold and very depressing. I was tired so i raced to the nearest train station. I was the only person walking as it was still raining softly and there was a sea of cars - sometimes i thank God for my legs.
A few minutes before my eyes could meet the train station. I was scared to death by something lying on the bare wet tiles on the sidewalk. I saw a dirty man, with some collected tins and cans beside him. I don't know if he was sleeping. All i know was that i wasn't expecting to see anyone to lie there like that. My heart was still jumping - but i walked on, towards the train station.
As i see my feet, alternating, left and right, left and right. What do you know what raced through my mind? Do i still want to walk on?
I turned back, opened my wallet, dug out what i could give after deducting my train fare. I told him to buy himself dinner. All he did was to clasp his hand together, and i saw thankfulness and relieve in his eyes. I don't know how many car drivers saw me turning back, i wished all of them saw that, and at least a few of them ( those with the big,comfy and shiny black cars ) could one day, give out something that means so little to them, but means everything to the person lying on the floor.
My heart aches so much to see these people, i know its life, i know there's nothing i can do - wait a minute. I can do something, i can change something. So can you. It takes a few dollars to help someone, it takes 5 minutes to help a blind man find his location.
Just the other day i was rushing, really rushing - as in 2 seconds count. And i saw this old man with silver hair,with his hands moving in the air - finding for something to hold on. I look at my watch - i am really rushing - it's ok i told myself, just this once.
I couldn't do it, i turned back and help the poor man. He was searching for a particular restaurant, which i have totally no idea where is it. To cut the story short, i brought him there, and it took me 5 minutes.
It takes so little, so so little to make someone's day. Let that day start tomorrow. It doesn't hurt to be kind or helpful. It is what this world needs. Sometimes, it is the small things that matter. Don't let us, be a cruel nation in the making, where our moral is corroded off, to give way for material and selfishness. You can make a difference. Yes, you can.
Love for each and everyone of you.. Happy Tuesday night! =)
