Something once happened to me that I won’t forget.
I was on my way home from town , short on money, I asked some few persons, they were all men but it didn't turn out to be positive. Then I saw one woman standing, i thought probably she will understand me better, or maybe develop sympathy since she is a mother and I decided to ask her for a little help. Just to explain my situation and see if she could spare something small. But before I could even finish my sentence, she dismissed me and walked away, almost like I didn’t exist.
That one pain me sha. Not just because I didn’t get the help I needed, but because of how quickly I was judged, not seen, not heard, not understood.
It made me realize something:
We often forget how powerful simple acts of kindness can be.
You never truly know what someone is going through. Sometimes, the difference between hope and despair is one kind word, one act of compassion, one person who stops and listens.
I’m not angry at her. Maybe she’s had bad experiences before. Maybe she was scared. I get it. But I hope that someday, we all learn to slow down and listen even for just a moment.
Because helping strangers doesn’t just bless them, it changes us too.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, rejected, or invisible, I see you. And if you ever get the chance to help someone in need, even with something small, please do it.
It matters.
More than you think.
