LIFE (2)
As a person, my heart is so easy to touched. its feel unbearable every time i see people less fortunate. As i feel how if it happen to myself. i would feel the same suffering.Like this afternoon, when i was ride my bike, I see an really old man ride his tree cycle, and he was selling stinky tofu. ( here in Taiwan stinky tofu is very famous) Mostly Taiwanese like to eat stinky tofu.
But what make me sad is not about stinky tofu, its about his condition. Taiwan is in cold winter days, and so windy.This old man still go out to earn money, he is almost 65 years old.
He stopped his tree cycle in the corner of the street. He waiting few moment, nobody come to buy. How pity he was.
Then i got that feeling again in my heart, sad and feels like crying. How an old man still needed to struggle for his life, for a penny. And maybe still so many problem that unsolved, and i never know.
So i came to the old man, and i order 1 plate of stinky tofu. He smile and cook what i ordered. I ask him yet is there anyone come and buy? He said that i am his first customer. ( He used to start selling about 3 PM) Then i ask how much for 1 plate? He said its only for Nt$ 40. OMG.. i cant help that my heart feel so sad. So i order to him 1 more plate.
God.. so many things in this world that seems unfair. About people who need to struggle so much, about many unlucky people out there. Then i take my order, and back home with something on my mind, maybe i am not a rich one, i dont have too much in this life, but i am more lucky then another people.
And i just say a little prayer to that old man, may God blessing him today and always. God.. this is Xmas.. and see still so many people weep in the smile.
But i was knew that they are so strong.
God.. make this world as a better world. Ameen.

We have many cases like you are describing here in Indonesia too. And these people work extremely hard to make ends meet. God bless their hearts...

I like going to this donut shop operated by a lovely Cambodian family here in La Verne, CA. A homeless man sits at one of the outside tables and when I see him I always buy him lunch because he is just down in his life.
And, of course, there are the many others that are not doing well either that I help with a small monetary contribution. Am I bragging? Naw! I'm just underscoring your sentiments that a person doesn't have to have much to help someone.
Stay that way always.
