Thank God we have more!!

Today in the morning as usual at around 5.50 I was awaiting at the bus stop and saw a old man in his 60's wrapped in a 2 meter long rag. As I was looking at him he walked down to the nearby coffee shop for want of a cup of coffee and the Coffee shop owner came out and made him go away from the shop the way he would have otherwise had a Dog or a Cow go away from outside his shop.

As he was dejected and walking I handed him over Ten Rupees (Indian) using which one can buy a pack of biscuits and a cup of Coffee.

As he walked back to different coffee shop and showed them that he had money to buy Coffee but the shop owner refused to sell Coffee to him.

I felt what wont help him was 10 Rupees but a cup of Coffee and biscuits. Because we have our priorities to reach our work place and get started with our day we can really do nothing more then feeling pity for the person.

Think about our lives, we have much more then what he had. We have money to buy basic things that we need and we feel bad about not being able to get a second car or a 40" Television for our home.

Just think!!
