Buses Can Tell That We Got Enough of this

On my way to Makati, I was riding a bus. Then a young man (maybe same age as mine) enter the vehicle. He then began telling his story, I stare at the window but I listen to what he says. He told everyone that he miss his parents and he want to return home. He doesn't sound so convincing, he sound like an elementary student reciting a poem in a very boring way. But then, I tried to understand his situation. I try to imagine myself in his situation. First and foremost, I will ask the driver to let me took a free ride till I got home.
Or, I will look for a job that fits my skill. But, if things go wrong and I have to ask for money like he did, I will be crying for help in front of passengers, begging for money is the last thing that will sure cross my mind. He's physically fit, I've seen lots of handicapped people working in spite of their weakness.

He began collecting money, of course I ignored him. I don't want to be fall to his trick. I don't think I did the wrong thing, cause if I do, I know I will felt the guilt. He then went off the bus, he got some money for other passengers. I rather spend my money for lunch of someone who's hardworking.

Lesson learned? I don't know. I just shared it.
