Not All Can Do That Act

story of giving

I was with my technical staff when we just finished working at client side.

We usually take trains to commute from and to office as it is faster, saves time. 

During our client meeting we were given food to take home.

As we were on our way home, we went to the nearest train station.  Elevator is very far so we took the stairs.  Moving forwarding on the stairs, I saw an old man who looked so pale and thin. 

I am a person who never gives money just like that.  As I believe in the saying �" “Do not give fish.  Teach others to fish.” With this, I always bring some food in my shoulder bag in case I will meet those people whose homes are the streets.  ATM Areas, Façade of buildings and stores, Bus Stops, almost everywhere one will find in an hour or two of travel. 

If one would really see how many people needs help, my advice is travel as early as 6AM and one will be able to count. As they are sleeping on open areas just to spend the night with a box of papers or plastics that they gathered on that day.

It takes practice to help.  Sometimes the opportunity will take you when one is in hurry or  just passed in front of that person or the other walks away from you.

Once I saw the old man, I immediately think of food I can give.  So while walking few minutes far from him, grabbed my bag and gave the food, and since the old man had someone sitting next to him, I asked my staff to give his own food.  It took minutes for him to decide to let go of his food.  I was laughing because I realized that not all can do that act.

Kindness when mastered gains self accomplishment, appreciation resulting to thankfulness.

We should be able to teach our children by sharing own’s experiences.  Once planted in their young minds and hearts, good virtues such as compassion, fairness, empathy, caring, love, thoughtfulness, understanding and respect for others will blossom in their young hearts. It molds the child’s internal character traits that lead to a armor in their fight for their daily lives giving them long term of unimaginable peace and happiness.

I have seen some foundation who helped in fighting poverty.  I  can recommend if one can not start own.  Please check the website http://i-am-groupltd.com/ for some links that are worth joining.

You made a very good point in this writing of yours. The fact that everyone doesn't naturally want to help the ones they could, is so saddening. I really admire you for bringing this type of thought to light. The ones that are willing, will.
