Something bothers me a lot. One day it happened with me... na na .. it actually happened with a boy. I wish I could have been there at his place. I felt proud for his action at the right time.
one day I was riding my bike to drop my mom in a bus stop as she had to board a bus . The bus was late as usual. I was waiting till the bus arrives and I had to aid my mom to board the bus safely. I was sitting on my bike at the busstop talking with mom and gazing at the street road. The road was busy with heavy traffic and people were doing there business, selling different items on road.
A few minutes later I saw a blind man with a stick in his hand walking on the road setting his directions with that stick and trying to cross the road. I saw him many times in that area before, he was a beggar and it was his livelihood. He was desperate to cross the road and couldn't do that due to the heavy traffic. I was looking at the courage of that guy, he didn't ask for anybody's help.
I was idiotically watching that blind guy discovering how he succeeds in crossing the busy road. I think people around me were also watching him and doing there business. suddenly a boy came from nowhere towards the blind guy, talked to him, helped in crossing the road and took him to the nearby place where he wished to go. I was stunned for a moment for what I have seen just now. Different kinds of emotions were running on my face.
when he finished his job and returning, I saw confidence and a smile on his bright face which was describing me that he has done something good. old people and few beggars around who saw that scene, blessed that boy for the job he has done. Every one around me saw that boy and smiled and were again busy with their business.
As I said, different emotions running on my face, a feel of happiness for the blind guy , a feel of Proud for that boy and a feel of shame for my self not being in that boys place. Firstly, why didn't I initiate to go and help him? instead of just watching the scene going on before me and thinking whether to go and help him or not.
I then started consoling myself , if I would have helped him today then what about tomorrow? who is going to help him? ones again he will be on his own. Thought for a moment and felt that it was all rubbish. I then realized my mistake and came to a conclusion that "if you feel you are going to do good for somebody, then just go and do it. stop feeling about all the people around you and there behaviors , take the initiative to do the good".
But It could have made a difference to me if I had helped that blind man crossing the road at that moment. I learnt a lesson from this. There are people around us who need our help due to there inability, sparing our few minutes for them will give meaning to our life.
Correct Me, if I am Wrong....
