Every morning, while many people are in hurry for work, there is an old man walking slowly toward my company. He carries an empty packet of garbage and turns around. He reaches the full dust -bin, collects something neccessary for him to buy and bring the left to throw away. He comes back and cleans the floor enthusiasticly. Then he picks up his full packet and goes away. The happiness appears on his face. Perhaps, what he found this morning is enough for his breakfast. At noon, while many people have had their lunch, he is still hurry. From the window, I see him cleaning the bowls, dishes...at a kitchen of a street bar. The sun is shining brightly on him but he doesn''t care. I''m looking at him but he doesn''t know. He just tries to finish this job for filling his empty stomatch. While people have their break-time in air con***ion rooms, the old man is lying on the pavement along the street. Many people pass him but noone pays attention to him. In the late afternoon, while people comes back home from work, he is sitting against the wall, looking at the clouds in the sky, and thinking something. Where will he go this evening ? Where is his house ? Where is his family ? Why aren''t they with him in this case ? Noone can answer these questions. People just know he is an old and homeless man. He can''t write, read and hear. I have seen him since the first time I came my company, but I don''t know why he chooses my company as his destination. Whether he will get along with it as I will or not ? Whatever in my deep heart, I always consider him as an lucky but nice man. In spite of his age, he has his own effort in life. He doesn''t want to beg anyone. He earns livings by himself with all his abilities and forces. He just works and helps someone. He doesn''t know many good things around him are happening. Nowadays, in our society, there are some people living without purpose, without rules. Some people often do great things but sometimes, they forget to do small things with their warm-hearted love. Now, I''m young. Luckily, I have a happy family, a stable job and good friends. I have my strong effort, belief and own way in life. But It''s not still enough. I have more things to learn. Here it is : The Charity
You could see that man whenever you want, namental. Don''t give him anything, just a look, a warm look, and a smile. He''s a happy one. Because he don''t treat anyone bad. And you, yourself, your life are more lucky than him, but The Charity is what you have to look for, forever.
