Good deed...
There is a homeless man with the typical "Veteran - God Bless" sign that hangs outside my work begging for anything that anyone can spare. I never give him money, for I never give money to any homeless person, but I have given him food on many occasions. My wife always tends to cook & pack me way too much food and I always give him the leftovers. He never complains (even though she is half Fijian / Indian, and the food generally reflects her culture's eating habits which some caucasians may dislike) and is always very appreciative for even the smallest amounts. I think if people can at least do this much for someone on a consistent or at least occasional basis then they should. It not only increases your moral, but that of the person you are helping as well as their life expectancy. So, if you can do someone why would you not? Think about all the food you waste on a daily basis, and then think about what a difference it would make if even some of those leftovers went to a man, woman, or child in need at least one day out of the week. There really is no acceptable excuse to not help. I am a full-time college student living out on my own with my wife, and I myself have been homeless, poor and hungry. It was a life experience I would not care to revisit, and one that I enjoy helping others to overcome - If only for a few hours.


Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
