Subtle Charity – Story 2

My friend and I were eating in a restaurant. Here came a lady with her blind husband and she had a bunch of tissues in her hand. This is a normal scenery in Malaysia. Blind people will go from one restaurant to the other selling tissues. Of course, they don’t go alone, they are accompanied by someone.

This weird friend of mine called up for the lady. and said she needs the tissue. She bought a pack of tissue which did not even cost RM1. But she paid RM20, since she said she didn’t have small change and as usual she asked the lady to keep the change. This time I did not ask anything, since she did not force me to take the tissue.

Helping people by charity is the most human thing we can do

Hypocrisy

I watched a Chinese drama called Princess Weiyoung and there is something that I learnt from the drama. There are different types of people; genuinely kind and honest, crystal clear evil or dare devil and the third group is the cunning ones. Combating the crystal clear evil is way much better than the cunning ones. A cunning and sly person can appear as your friend, who is doing something for your own good but actually the evil intention is laid underneath which you won’t be able to see, just like the iceberg theory. Beware, guard yourself from falling into the hypocrite’s trap.

Set priorities in life

Had a discussion with my dear daughter recently. She was confused with what she really wants in her life. Of course, everyone wants to get the best in this life. Unfortunately, we are not entitled for all the best in this world. So, we have to set priorities in our life.

Know your priorities and how to keep them straight
