A few days ago I saw a hidden camera filming an actor who played a homeless man. He sat outside on the stones with shabby clothes on, a child about 6 years old laying inhis arms coughing. On a carton board was written : can please spare a dime for my family. If I didn't saw it myself, I would not believe that no one but really not one person gave him some money. Then a woman with a backpack stopped in front of them and said this : this is all I've earned today, it's not much but you both need it more then I do. Can I say a prayer for you ? The mas said yes and she said her prayer, then she left. Before she was 10 steps further the man stood up and called the lady back. With tears in his eyes he said to her : I sat here and really hundreds of people passed by, not one gave but you, yourself being a homeless woman, you gave all you've got. He opened his wallet and took 100 dollar out and gave it to her. Bless you he said and thank you so much.
Is it so that the more money we got, the less we can give away to others that need it ? Bad luck can happen to any of us and wouldn't we be grateful to get some help too if things turned out wrong ? There is so much hunger and poverty in this world... It seems that the rich only getting richer and the rest is getting poorer...
