Hi friends, it's been a while. Let's get on and spread the love together. Here is a story would surely challenge your life of giving.
There is a story of a lady who met a poor old egg vendor and queried for the price. The old vendor replied "50 Cents each.โ The lady bargained to buy 6 eggs for $2.50, That is 50 Cents discount from the vendor's rate.
The vendor agreed to sell the eggs at that rate at least because he had not sold anything for the day. This was hi first sale and he didn't want to miss it at least to have money for his meal. The lady bought the eggs at that bargained price and left with the feeling that she had won.
She got into her car joined her friend at a luxury restaurant where they ordered what they wanted, ate a little and left a huge part of the snacks they bought. Their bill was $150, but then, the lady gave $200 to the restaurant owner and asked him to keep the change as a tip.
Remember, she did bargained out $0.5 from the egg vendor's pay but gave out $50 the luxury restaurant owner. Think of it, the luxury restaurant owner is better placed and perhaps has a comfortable life, but the egg vendor just needs some Cents to feed and live.
Now, here's a question:
๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ก๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐จ ๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ฎ? ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐?
While we try to unravel the above story and question, there is also the story of a man who usually bought goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. Sometimes, he would pay more than the named price. In one of their trips, his son asked him "Why are you doing this Dad?" Here was the man's reply: "It's charity wrapped in dignity, son."
now let's answer the question, Why do we show generosity to the rich than the poor who really have need for it?
I wiIll be waiting to engage the comments.
