The Heart Of The Less Fortunate Boy By: Jecevil Sechico

Imagine how ironic life can be! Today as I was riding on the motorcycle, a teenage boy caught my sight whose clothes appeared soily with slippers on his dirt covered feet. He must be homeless I guess. But this is not about the thing, what catches my attention was when he stopped by on a blind man singing while playing his guitar at the side of the road with the coin container on top of the sound box. Then he started picking up something on his short's pocket. But his two younger mates called him out, so he went ahead. However, he stopped and told them to wait a little while and went back to the differently abled man. He dropped a coin to the container and left. Few seconds passed, two good looking guys passed by wearing an elegant outfit with a good brand of bag on their back. They just stared a little to the blind man singing without any plans of dropping a coin of appreciation.

I wanted to capture just a single photo of that heart touching event but too late when my brother resumed driving the motorcycle in the middle of the traffic congestion. The picture is still fresh in my head and I just can't believe how reality appears to be, that the boy under the circumstance of poverty, who is in need was the one who lend a helping hand in a little way he can. Who would be thinking that those who wear the dirtiest shoes got the biggest heart of sympathy? It may be because they can exactly relate the feeling of having an empty stomach while seeing other people taking their delicious dinner on food chains or classy restaurants. Moreover, that’s the face of reality, something that needs to be given attention and care for a societal remedy. I got my heart broken today. To the boy who empathized, he is such a wonderful example. God bless him.
