Heart hardened II
For the past few weeks, I've been frequenting the ABC market but never did I once encounter the elderly man again. Perhaps I went there early, perhaps he has moved on to hawk his wares elsewhere, perhaps...
After the NKF fiasco, I'm pretty skeptical of charity organizations, be them big or small. I figured out that unless I could see where my donations are going, I could've have jolly well been taken for a ride. Thus, I made it a point not to donate to any charity, regardless of the sob stories or poor tales I hear.
Yet, when presented with an opportunity to lend a helping hand to the elderly man, I dismissed it carelessly. I can see where my money is going to and he is the direct recipient of the full amount, so why didn't I have a heart and buy the tissue papers from him? I guess it's time for me to walk the talk and practice what I preach.
