Nowadays, various posts of people who are kindhearted enough to help those around them circulate fast all over the web. It may be because there are some netizens who would like to do the same thing but could not because they weren’t put in the same situations. But, one thing is for sure – these people choose to help and care for those who are really helpless.
Just recently, a Facebook user named Adrian Choo decided to help a homeless man he saw in front of their company building. He actually considered the possibility of being harmed yet he chose to help. He bought food for the man who wasn’t able to eat for two long days and even gave him a haircut. Afterwards, the man looked presentable enough to apply for work.
See the full post below:
While he was eating that simple plate of rice, with the curry and a fried egg, I could imagine how tough it must've been for him. How helpless he is, and how he must've felt when everyone bypassed him, rejected him.
After the meal, I wanted to give him a haircut. Our sous chef offered a share of 10 bucks. I brought him to a few saloons, all rejected him, worrying that he would affect their customers. And then we came to one that might have helped, but was not so willing to serve him. I asked if we could just help that poor young man at a cheaper rate, and a simple haircut would do. I was prepared to pay 20bucks for his haircut, but they insisted 30. We left.
So we got back to restaurant, I was suddenly reminded that my nepali colleagues don't go to saloons. They cut for each other. Thank God. I asked them to help. And one salesman came, a Pakistani. He wanted to help this poor lad too, and offered to give him a haircut, for free. Amazing.
After the haircut, I looked at him, and thought he was actually quite a decent looking guy. We brought him to the toilet and let him take a shower there.
I thank God that I took the first step to approach him. And thinking back on the whole process, I feel so blessed that I could do something to help. It was effortless. And if I were to live my life helping people everyday like that, I would feel happy, and have a sense of a greater purpose in life. And I know deep inside we're called to live like that, we're called to be the light, to bless.
