Poor

I often see beggars of all kinds lining the streets, and I wonder, what do we do with these people?

Do we walk by, knowing that we have just bypassed the opportunity to give help to someone in need, or do we give some donation, knowing it is merely a 'band aid' that does nothing good in the long run?

This thought struck me as I walked out of Cold Storage (Jaya Supermarket) Section 14, PJ, last night. There was this woman, sitting on the pavement, who, noticing me and my brother passing, called out, "Tolonglah, adik."

I could not get those words out of my head. And still I wonder.
