We are all humans.

       
                                     Yesterday, my mum asked me to go with her to the supermarket , it all seemed like another normal afternoon for me ; but then I saw something that turned my mind upside down. When we entered the supermarket , I noticed a homeless man siting at the entrance of the building. However , this man was not like any other beggars I had seen before ; he was not asking for money or food , he was asking for help. Nevertheless ,my mum and I just passed by , thinking he was just trying to get some attention in order to get some money.  Later that day , when I was on my way home from the gym , I saw the same man again, but this time , he was crying his heart out . Inmediately , I stopped by his side and asked him if he was ok , but I was definetly not ready for what I was about to hear. He told that he had become homeless recently and that he had been trying to get some help to get up and recover ; whereas people had just passed him by , ignoring him like he didnt existed. This last phrase remained in my mind till I got home , and finally when I entered my home , I broke down into pieces. I realised that I had been one of those people that had ignored him , making him feel like he was worthless without no right to live. In conclusion , you never know what its going on in somebody's life ; you dont know if he is begging for money to spend it on drugs and alcohol , or if he is begging for help and compassion ; however the less you can do is at least to look at them and make them feel as humans.
