Humanitarian never dies


It was almost 6 pm. I was standing in front of a tea shop and enjoying my tea. Shop vendor was busy in the business and few like me were zipping the teacups.
Suddenly a man who was very shabbily dressed, malnourished and poorly groomed came towards me.  I was in confusion about whether to avoid him or attend to him. Others were also there, but he came directly to me.
I made a guess that he is hungry and asking me to get some snacks for him and I was not wrong. I went to the shopkeeper and paid for 2 vadas. The shopkeeper understood the purpose of my deal. I paid only for 2 vadas, but he put 4 in that parcel.
I gave it to the man who has approached me with some hope. His expressions through his eyes and face made me feel as if I have done something so great. I finished my tea and the shopkeeper and left.
The high light here is, a small and negligible initiation for the service to humankind makes many follow and involve the same.  I was highly motivated to do many more like this!!!

Familiarise the unfamiliar

Bad always first and good follows later

Faster in young and slow at old

Can be formal or casual

Possible by choice and chance

Makes the unknown into known
