A blind man, a kind deed and a warmed heart.
Wham!
The handle bars next t me resonated and ringed in a pure high note.
Slightly alarmed at the fact that the inert thing i was leaning on had suddenly awakened i jumped u only to see a man..
a blind man... not a very good one.. but a rather old one.. guess his senses were failing him. he had crashed headlong into a railing.it was one of those railings that pple sit on while waitign for the bus or r=rather he had crashed into it when i was leaning on it.
he clamber desperately back and seemed a little disorientated.
suddenly he scampered helter skelter in my direction.
"is he ok?" i wondered.. mean like.." does he need help?"just then i realised he was coming full speed at me.Instinctively, i scrambled out of the way.
i turned around and stared blankly at him,, and wondered if he knew where he was going.
the entire world had their eyes fixated on him. People staring in pity.. others in contempt.
i knew he could sense the looks... the stares.. and the woman..
she appeared out of nowhere.. steadily took him by the arm and slowed him down a little.. she spoke kindly to him and led him up a bus.
thoughts raced through my head a millions times over... and i wondered why i had not helped... had i been to selfish? to care about my own needs?instead of avoiding the guy i shd've stopped to help. i feel like an idiot.
as i looked up at the lady once more... a warmness filled my heart. and somehow i knew.. there were others out there...
and at once i knew... she had not only helped the man... but had touched the hearts of those watching...
a good deed isn't just a deed... its.. more than that..
its.. love for another person.. i;m not saying this cuz i'm affected by some propoganda. or fallen in love(like a someone i know). i just feel.. that that simple act meant so much to him.
and to me.
the best part,.. i was only watching... and i could feel it.
