Old and weary

I was at McD, almost finishing the last few bites of my chicken when an old lady entered the restaurant. She moved to the first table nearest to the door, trying to sell something. I was at the second table. She move to my table after being refused by the first. She push her product towards me. I did not have a chance to look at what it was. I dare not ask how much it was. I gathered that it would be too expensive. I politely turn her down.

After which, I totally lose my appetite. Yea.. I am that sort of a person. I lose my appetite for I felt terribly sorry for the old lady. Each time I see an old person begging or working hard, I would immediately feel upset. Ever seen an old lady, all bent and carrying a heavy load on her shoulders? That scene breaks my heart. So if I am a billionaire, I would give shelter to these old man and woman - for now - I can only pray that they find their own comfort in whichever way they can.
