What are the stories of their lives...?

             I have taken the public bus practically 6 to 8 times a week for more than one year, including all the way to and back from tuition and school. I've seen different kinds of people inside the bus. Sometimes I meet the same people on several occasions.

              Most of the time , I just get on the bus and just put on my music player and play games on my handphone. I don't really look around what is happening.

          One day, I was quite bored of the handphone game already. I was just listening to my music. I realised there was an Indian girl sitting opposite me talking on the phone. She had already been talking for quite long. She was around her 30's. She looked quite upset or something on the phone. It looked like she was arguing about something. I stopped my music player but it was too bad that I couldn't understand Tamil. She looked really frustrated and her eyes were full of tears but she managed to hold them back.

         I'm not really a busybody kind of person. But I'm just wondering, what had she been through? What is the story of her life?

         I saw an old man. He couldn't sit still. He kept changing places to sit and walked around the bus, he even squatted down on the floor. He seemed really uncomfortable. I think he was a drug addict. His face was really pale and his eyes were red. He was really suffering. Once again,I wondered, what has he been through? What is the story of his life?

         Then, I saw an old lady. I've met her before. She is still the same. She always goes around  begging for money. She tells people she needs money to buy food. Some people pity her and gave her RM1. Some just ignore her. Well,honestly,I ignore her.

        Last year, when I was having tuition classes in my tuition centre , there was an old lady near the tuition centre. She would sit there all day on a chair. Whenever people passed by, she would call them. I was the "lucky" ones. She called me.

      " Girl,  I am very hungry. I'm waiting for people to give me money so that I can buy food."

       I was confused. I was like "Huh? Who people? Give you what money?"

      "They will give me money in the late afternoon. Just RM1 to let me go and buy some food."

        Then it was cleared. "Oh, you are hungry?"

        Without any second thought, I took out my wallet and gave her RM1.

        "Is that enough?"

         "Oh, girl, you don't need to give me money."

        "Nono, it's okay, it's okay. Just take it and buy something to eat."

       I was feeling happy that day cause I thought I helped someone and did something good.

       A few weeks later, I met the old lady again. She was still sitting in the same place. She waved at me... again. I walked towards her.

      " Girl, can you read chinese? " then she handed me a piece of paper. It was just some lousy flyers.

      I was like... "urm...?"

     " Can you tell me what is this paper writing? I don't understand Chinese. This piece of paper is given by my daughter to me. It's a letter she wrote to me. Can you tell me what is she writing? I miss her so much. What is she writing? Does she miss me?"

        I went blank. Letter?  That was obviously a piece of flyer.

      " I'm very hungry now. Is she going to come back and give me money to eat?" she added.

      I was in the 'didn't - know - what - to - do' situation. So I lied to her that I didn't know how to read Chinese and I will take that piece of paper to my tuition teacher and ask her to translate. I afraid that I'd break her heart if I told her that it was just a piece of flyer.

      So, I quickly ran to the class and showed that piece of paper to my teacher. I told her the whole story.

      "I forgot to tell you." she said.

     "How dare she asked money from you. She has always been this way. She has been cheating many people. She always tells pitiful stories to make people feel sad for her and she will ask for money. Just ignore her. She is there all the time and tries to take advantage on people. We all ignore her."

       Wow, I was so mad at that moment. How could you take advantage on people with kind hearts?!!! I really wanted to scold her that time. But I managed to calm down because she was an elderly person. It would have been really rude if I scolded her. So I went back to her and gave that piece of paper back to her. I told her that I didn't know what the paper was all about. She then tried again to repeat the so called pitiful stories. I told her I didn't have time and I just walked away.

      My point is,it's not the RM1 that matters to me. I could give her RM10 if she was really someone who needed my help. But she wasn't. She was just cheating! How many RM1 has she collected from people all this while? What I'm trying to point out is how could people act this way? How could people take advantage of others and cheat them when they are trying to be nice and helpful? RM1 is not a big amount I know. But she has made me lost my trust in people. I felt hurt and disappointed.

      Well, back to the bus. That's the reason why I don't really donate money directly to people who asked for it. That is why I ignored the old lady that asked money from people in the bus. How do I know  that if I donate the money to her,she might end up enjoying herself with that money. Or she use the money to commit crimes such as taking drugs and so on.

       Once again, I wonder, what is the story of her life? What has she been through? Why does she need to ask money from people? I'm sorry I couldn't help you if you needed help. I've lost trust to people like you. You have arms and legs,why don't you go and work?

       Ladies and gentlemen, a perfect example describing people who take advantages on other kind people is Michael Jackson's case. Just so you know, Michael Jackson invited kids to play around in his Neverland ranch as he hoped those children would have a beautiful childhood because his childhood was bad. That sounds very kind,doesn't it? To cut a long story short, a few years ago,Michael received a call from a mother that her son was suffering from cancer. He wished that he could see Michael Jackson. Immediately, Michael invited the family to live with him in Neverland and he reassured her son that he would be okay. Thank or don't thank God, his son recovered. But few years later, the family sued Michael Jackson for molesting the kid. That is the summary of the story. For more information, click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6C5S64tCRA

      I don't just make up stories of Michael Jackson. I didn't know Michael was so kind too until I watched the videos. These things are happening in reality. I really feel sorry for Michael and people out there who are facing similar problems.

      That is the reason why, I admire Nick Vijicic a lot. For those of you who don't know who he is, you can search about him on youtube. People with arms and legs are born perfectly could go and make up sympathy stories to cheat on others' money. Nick Vijicic is a guy with no arms and legs and yet he is able to give motivational talk to thousands and thousands of people and help inspire them,yet people with arms and legs are cheating others for themselves. What is happening to the world?

       Why are people acting this way? What happened to humans? Is the word "humanity" still available? Is the lastest version of dictonary gonna delete the word "humanity"? Why are human acting so inhumanely?  Every single day, we read about people whote are committing crimes : dumping babies, stealing, robbing, snatching, killing, raping,animal massacre and many more crimes. Innocent people are being killed for othersi selfishness. It's such ashame that even some animals like tigers and dogs protect their own babies and humans are throwing their babies to the toilet or dustbins?  Why are people acting worse than animals? What are the reasons they do this? What are the stories of their lives?  

          See this video and you will get what I mean by saying some animals are better than some humans!
        

         Amazing right? Thank God the dog was alive. That's what I'm talking about.

         God has given us a good chance to be a human in this life and yet some people play their role as an animal or couldn't even play the role as an animal.

         What has happened to the society? Why are people acting this way? What are the reasons behind these actions? I still believe in "Everything happens for a reason". So what are the reasons? Once again,I wonder, what have they been through? What are the stories of their lives that they have to do something like this....?

      
       For those of you who are being so kind, it's very nice of you. I just want you to know how ugly this world is and please take good care of yourself when you are being kind. Don't let yourself get hurt in the process of helping people. Please do know who you are helping. Help those who really need our help, not those who want to take advantage on us.


      And for those of you who are committing those crimes I mentioned shame on you and double SHAME on you if you don't change now.

       I will play my role as a human and I will play it to my fullest. I will help who SERIOUSLY need my help especially to my beloved ones in order to thank God for what God has given me.  

                                     Thank you God.
