He was dishevelled, bare foot and the clothes he possessed were torn and threadbare. As it was the height of winter, I locked up shop, leaving a sign on the door and headed out to buy the man a blanket, a warm waterproof coat and a pair of shoes.<br /><br />When I returned he had gone. However, many days later he reappeared going through the same rubbish bin. I said hello, as I would to anyone and discretely handed him my purchase.<br /><br />I can only imagine he was embarrassed, as he shuffled off empty handed. The following morning, the package was gone. I have often wondered whether he returned to collect the clothing later that evening.<br /><br />I hope so. I really do.Just Wendy https://www.blogger.com/profile/05268645629027109282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-41445895083162595432010-04-28T20:21:53.018-05:002010-04-28T20:21:53.018-05:00Good words to think on.

It was fortuitous that our posts were similar today!<br />I really, really enjoyed this piece. <br />It saddens me greatly that our society is lacking in compassion for others. It makes us seem more like animals than humans, although, even dogs can sense when someone is in need of help. <br />Shame on anyone who would just pass by and do nothing.alexis nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701177402195968414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-790641614727569192010-04-28T12:21:30.706-05:002010-04-28T12:21:30.706-05:00I read about this story yesterday and it broke my ...I read about this story yesterday and it broke my heart. That man helped a woman but no one helped him. Something's wrong with our world that this can happen and a hero can go unhelped.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-37364415364463432992010-04-28T11:44:46.205-05:002010-04-28T11:44:46.205-05:00OK, have to confess that I zipped right past the e...OK, have to confess that I zipped right past the entire ending you wrote, because I don't want the ending spoiled should I ever get to read the whole entire! <br /><br />And yes, your story and video completely makes me lose faith in the human race.

It really shows us how far we have strayed from seeing ourselves in one another. The people who walked by expressed their free will by not helping the man...nobody can force love on anyone.
