On the sidewalk stood a young woman dressed in her best clothes. Many asked if he needed help and where his parents were. But no one noticed or cared that he was standing there in ragged and dirty clothes. It was a terrible truth that people judged him primarily by his appearance and did not recognize his human worth.
This behavior has made it difficult to provide a future for everyone to treat the same regardless of its financial status or physical charm. It was sad that some people’s lives were more important than others because they had more money or more attractive.
The homeless man at Dunkin’ Donuts was a classic example. He was trying to make some money and was completely ignored by everyone around him until a woman approached him.
Then he bought her coffee and a bagel out of pocket because he was willing to sit and talk for about an hour before she went to class. Before he left, he gave her the message that she didn’t understand what it meant.
We must all strive to create an environment where everyone is respected, regardless of circumstances. This will go a long way toward making the world a better place for all of us. It shows that no matter how little someone has, they can still provide valuable insight and discourse if given the opportunity.
Casey Fischer was driving to Dunkin’ Donuts when she saw a homeless man begging for pennies by the side of the road. Chris, the man, told Fischer about his challenges with homelessness and his previous experiences with unfair treatment because of his position. He was so curious that he invited him to his table and paid for his dinner.
He admitted that he had used drugs in the past before attending the class. But before he left, Chris handed him a crumpled piece of paper with something on it that touched Fisher. According to the newspaper, he tried to kill himself before they met. This simple act of compassion gave Chris strength and hope.
We must recognize and thank this brave young woman for her incredible compassion and charity for those less fortunate than herself. Casey has shown that even the smallest of actions can have a big impact on the lives of others, sending an invitation to grab coffee with a few people. This is what the world needs. These are people with compassionate and loving hearts who want to make a difference in the lives of those around them.
Inspirational stories like these remind us that all is not lost when it comes to compassion and understanding in our culture. This auspicious event raised the hope of the people and renewed their faith in humanity. We need to spread this beautiful story as widely as possible to see how humble actions can impact communities around the world.
