I had never liked to give alms to beggars (Im not a rich person, and i get annoyed easily). However, i made an exemption today. I gave someone 200Php, Why? For a reason that im supposed to believe. Some May say that i was stupid, some might think of me as gullible, and some would think its noble (Please, the last thing i want to be called is noble).
Im not someone who likes to play the hero (But a few years ago that is what i try to be "Heavily emphasize about YEARS AGO"). So what is the reason why i gave some money to a complete stranger, that might be just telling me some convenient lie that would make me feel pity and therefore land him some easy cash?
I can only say this... If indeed it was just a scam to get my sympathy (and cash, of course) then the only thing that was taken from me is 200Pesos. However, if indeed he was telling the truth, then i believe in all honesty...that what i did was priceless.
I also made a promise that it would be "The last act of kindness" that i might give to those that prowl the streets, begging for a few coins. I'm not a good Person, and the last thing i want to be called is "Mr.Nice Guy". Whatever the outcome of my action, i sincerely hope that i made the right choice.
If not, then i hope that someday...when i am in the same situation, someone might offer me some kindness, so that i might say to myself...."Thank you Lord,I made the right Choice".
Have a great week everyone.
