Kyle was from a middle-class family and had high desires. She was beautiful indeed and so could manage a rich boyfriend. And soon they were getting married too. Marrying one of the richest young men in town was her biggest dream.

Before the wedding day, she called her best friends to invite them to her bachelorette party. She told them that it was going to be the best bachelorette party and they would have so much fun. She ended the call by saying goodbye. The bride had two best friends who were also from the middle class and had the same dreams as Kyle. Jaya and Eli were looking forward to her bachelorette party.

They met at the park and Jaya asked where they should go. Eli suggested that they might be going to their favorite club. But the bride got angry and said that she was so sick of it because it was the same thing over and over again. She added that those rich people's diversions were so boring. However, they yet could not decide what to do or where to go. At that moment, a homeless girl was walking past them. As soon as Kyle saw her she exclaimed that she thought she had an idea. She suggested that they should turn that dirty vagrant into a beauty. She added that it would be so much fun.

Her friends also exclaimed that it was something new and they could also post about it on social media. So, the three ladies went to the homeless girl, and Kyle addressing her as slob asked if she wanted to make some money or food. Jaya told her that that was her lucky day. The poor girl was starving, so she decided to hear them out. She made the three ladies happy by agreeing with them.

They took the homeless girl to the nearest beauty salon. Kyle told her that that salon was not the best one, but she didn't deserve better. She ordered her to sit down and soon her hair was done. It made the ladies happy again. Kyle exclaimed that she was not even that ugly. So, in her view, she could be turned into a human. The homeless girl smiled for the first time and she felt shy.

Then they chose a dress for her. Kyle told her to go to the fitting room and choose something nice for her. When she tried the first one, Jaya commented that it was not bad, but it would look better on her if she had a better figure. So, she had to try a new dress and the ladies were stunned. Eli started to take photos of her. Kyle exclaimed that it was incredible that the dress fitted her perfectly. She also said that if she had not hit rock bottom, she could be such a beauty. All the time, the homeless girl was feeling shy and didn't say any words.

However, when it was time for leaving the homeless girl, Kyle said that she could not just leave it at that. She wanted to show the homeless beauty to her fiance. She didn't want her fun experiment to be unknown to him. So, she called him and he arrived shortly. He asked Kyle what was going on. When he saw the girl, he asked her who that girl was. She replied that she was just a hobo and she didn't even know her name. She continued saying that they had decided to play with her and it had turned out so cool. Kevin asked her what she meant by playing with her. He said that she was not a doll or some other object, she was a human being. He asked Kyle if she had lost her mind. He added that he had never expected her to do something like that. Kyle and her best friends could not say anything and remained silent.

Kevin again said that he never had thought his fiance could be so cruel. And so it made him think that they should not go forward with the wedding. Kyle was speechless, hurt, and shocked when he approached the homeless girl and asked her name. She replied that she was Olivia. Kevin then asked her if she would like to have dinner with him. And she agreed. Without a second word, he along with Olivia left the place for the best restaurant.

At the diner, she shared her story with Kevin. She said that she had wanted to build a career in that city but failed. That was how she had ended up on the street. He was taken by her wit and beauty. They walked and talked the whole night. They had been never apart after the day they had met. Soon, he took her to a new place and told her that he had rented that place for her and asked her to make herself at home. He added that the next day they would get her a job. Olivia was so happy and became so grateful. And to Kevin, she had become someone he had been looking for his whole life but had a hard time finding. They got closer and got married and Kevin didn't wait much to marry her. And for Kyle, the price she had paid for her spite and malice was loneliness.

Compassion is one of the most important human qualities. Those who don't have it are doomed to pay for their malice.

I just hope having compassion will be normal to everyone but life's experience avoid them to give with some

Maybe...but we should not take the negative experiences. Whatever happens we should take the right and positive ones from life.

As such, compassion is not an automatic response to another’s plight it is a response that occurs only when the situation is perceived as serious, unjust and relatable. It requires a certain level of awareness, concern and empathy.

I agree with the level you showed. Though it's not an automatic response to another's plight in your view, I think insults are also not a response for this. If people can't show compassion, they should ignore it, not bother and make fun with them.
