It happened two days back, on my way to home from office. On the noisy road, I heard a strong voice shouting on somebody. A snack shop owner was yelling on a little girl. All of a sudden I felt that there is no voice except for the shop owner’s voice.
I saw that tiny little girl some thing in age of 3-4 years, wearing a green skirt with bare foot. Finally that girl left that shop and stood some distant from the shop looking with her cute, unsatisfied eyes to people eating there. But, no body paid any attention to her.
I saw her weeping, drying her eyes pearl. I noticed no body bothered to fulfill her hunger desire.
Suddenly something happened to me. I feel as if I am at the center of a closed emotionally sphere. My heart started beating fast. I am sinking. I felt that I am loosing something and I finally thought to help that little creature of GOD. My legs started moving towards her. But, in the next second something happened. My brain was pulverizing my thought to help her. I wanted to help that little poor human being but, there was a nuclear world war going inside my mind with my heart.
I was struck and finally I left that place with a melancholy mood thinking that I might have helped that poor gift of GOD, but, due to fight inside me I was not in a position to help her.
What stopped you from helping her? The least you could have done was to buy some eatable item from that restaurant. This is what I do under similar situation. Giving them money is a bad idea as there are so many rackets running around begging and exploiting children. Giving them immediately consumable food does not serve any racket and helps the poor kid. If you are not convinced about it then I would like to hear what kind of nuclear battle is going on in your mind. Thanks!
