Sometimes the good in us really does stand out.How we treat a person of a lower stature, or a person of lower mental capacity are in my books some of the traits that go to show the character of the human being.And as cliche or rare as it may sound, we should never underestimate the compassion of the common man on the streets.I did and I realized I was wrong.
Yesterday at the mechanic to get my colleague's Bullet done I came across a strange sight.People -children,shopkeepers,pedestrians all in their own kind of way helping and more importantly cheering up a mentally challenged man. With an obvious disregard for clothes and a seemingly very very sweet tooth he seemed to be enjoying the company of people around him and vice versa. People buying him candy, balloons, tying up his pants-and mind you none of these are people even closely related.Just folks who happened to be around the street where he was.
I dont wanna be sounding like an elder now..but the thing to be understood here is this, and its very true and important. Life is not fair to a lot of people and not just you, infact it can be unfair to some.It makes sense to wake up,stop whatever you are doing and try and cheer or make another's life a little less ordinary. It will enrich yours too, I promise.
