People are so devoted to praying and asking the Lord's name all the time inside church, but when a beggar asks for a few cents, they will roll their eyes and ignore them as if they don't exist. These people are rich, educated, and professionals who actively participate in church, but what I don't understand is how they look down on others. Today, while my little brother and I are buying fries in the street, a man in messy clothes and a faded slipper gives my little brother a juice sold by the vendor. He also asked me if I also wanted juice, and I said no, and he asked again, which flavour from these? I was shy, so I replied that I bought juice a while ago. I look at his little son happily drinking juice, and the man just smiles genuinely, and said "we will go" they continue walking without buying any food but just a drink. I feel mesmerized, and this realization hit me today. Sometimes the people who are not educated and rich are the ones with good manners and virtues. Knowing they don't possess the things the rich have, they are deeply generous in their hearts.
