“Fear Turned To Compassion” Reviews IAM Group Limited Korea, Yokohama, Japan

an awesome story of a girl who learns to forgive a thief

Paula maintains an exercise regime that includes a brisk walk every morning around some gardens in our neighborhood in Korea.  Appreciating  the beauty only nature can offer, she was feeling every blow of air the wind brings to her.

 

One morning, she was walking earlier than usual, daybreak was only just beginning to set in and it was still relatively dark. As she was walking, a cyclist came up to her, snatched her handbag (containing her keys, phone and credit cards) and sped off with it! She ran after him shouting "thief - thief".  A man further ahead must have heard her, or seen what had happened.  He was washing a car and had a bucket of water with him.  He grabbed the bucket and threw the water on to the cyclist.

 

The cyclist, caught off guard, drove off the pavement and his bike fell over. 

The other people in the park rushed over and surrounded him.  My friend Paula was worried that the people would try and beat him up, as often happens in Korea, and so she pleaded with them not to hurt him.

 

She bent down and asked the man why he did this to her?  He was extremely repentant and explained that he was the son of a poor farmer and that this year their crops had failed.  He said that the money lenders had threatened to beat up his father and hurt their family if they didn't pay on time.  He said that he was absolutely desperate and didn't know what else to do.  He was very sorry.

Paula was deeply moved by this story.

 

 She could see that boy was young and he was so skinny and bonny.  She looked into the boy's eyes and said that she forgave him.  She then pulled out some money from her handbag and gave it to him.  She told him that stealing was wrong and that he shouldn't do it again.  He said he wouldn't.  He said he was from a good family and well brought up and that he had made a terrible mistake.

 

Paula felt compassion towards the boy, like what IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Korea,  Yokohama, Japan is aiming, compassion for the needy. You can also join us in IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) Korea, Yokohama, Japan by visiting our website at i-am-groupltd.com.
